Operations <strong>Update</strong><br />
The past several months have been very busy in<br />
operations, as wholesale peak season coupled with<br />
continued Gabby and SCC growth have provided<br />
us with plenty to do! Peak season is the time we<br />
stress our systems and processes and evaluate the<br />
performances of both. We’re pretty sure they were<br />
stressed, along with the staff!<br />
As <strong>2016</strong> season starts to wind down, we are moving<br />
forward toward 2017 with great momentum. There<br />
are several large initiatives in process to improve our<br />
efficiencies. The largest and possibly most impactful<br />
of those is the implementation of a WMS system<br />
for distribution. This will be a paradigm shift for<br />
many of the distribution departments as we will<br />
shift from paper based, single order selection to a<br />
hand held, paperless order picking solution. This<br />
will also allow us to move to real time bin location<br />
management, possible randomized storage, and a<br />
ton of other opportunities. More to come on other<br />
initiatives!<br />
SC Private Label<br />
We returned from the Chicago Pre Market and<br />
went straight to the Atlanta Gift Show. Next week<br />
we will be showing our new 2017 Direct Container<br />
collections at the Las Vegas Market.<br />
During the Pre-Market in Chicago we saw many<br />
of our old customers and some new ones. The new<br />
collections were received with enthusiasm and we<br />
displayed the new slate gray finish in Alyssa and<br />
Terrazza. The new Hudson Sectional was on display<br />
along with our new upholstered Emma collection in<br />
Slate Gray. All of these new groups and finishes will<br />
be in Las Vegas and also during the Garden Party.<br />
Summer Classics Private Label will be in the 2, 700<br />
square foot Museum area. We will be able to show<br />
all our collections during the Garden Party.<br />

MONTHLY UPDATE: AUGUST <strong>2016</strong><br />
If you have been out into the DC, you have<br />
probably noticed that the main aisle has been<br />
resurfaced, striped, and marked with stop signs and<br />
pedestrian crossings. This is the beginning of a large<br />
modernizing/work space professionalism initiative<br />
geared to get our work spaces up to date, safe, and<br />
ready for growth. We are excited to see these types<br />
of projects come to fruition, and see how impactful<br />
they can be.<br />
