Izipizi, the globally recognized French sunglasses and eyewear brand founded in 2010, has steadily grown over the years to 130 markets through e-commerce. Now, in a strategic logistics partnership with DSV, it has expanded its reach even further.
Global reach, local solutions
With an e-commerce presence spanning 130 markets, all shipped from their base in France, Izipizi has built quite a following. However, as the brand began to expand rapidily in the US market, logistical and shipping limitations challenges became more apparent. With that in mind, an audacious project began to take shape – namely, to open a warehouse in the US with DSV to enhance efficiency and reduce shipping distances.The decision to open a warehouse in the US was twofold. Firstly, addressing the challenges of international shipping from France, and secondly, harnessing the economic benefits by shipping locally to the US market. This warehouse now efficiently handles wholesale, e-commerce, and retail operations for Izipizi, showcasing the versatile and comprehensive solutions provided by DSV.
Innovation and Continuous Improvement
A commitment to innovation has been evident throughout the partnership. From solution design to day-to-day optimization, DSV’s team consistently sought new ways to enhance productivity and efficiency in handling Izipizi's products. The collaborative learning process became integral to the success of the operation.
We are very pleased with the project management and operations of our new warehouse set-up in US for our growing e-commerce activities in the Americas. The warehouse design project was vetted by all teams at DSV in excellent coordination, and all activities in the warehouse went live from the start, on the agreed date.
Lucas Gaurichon, Head of Supply Chain & Data at Izipizi, expressed profound admiration for DSV’s project management capabilities, where flexibility and rigorous work provided a smooth and synchronized project delivery, ensuring alignment with multiple partners and departments from operations, engineers and IT to security.
Trust and capability
The structure and organization of this project left a lasting impression on Izipizi: The capability and capacity were reviewed weekly, demonstrating the dedication to keeping everything aligned and on track, ensuring that the trust placed in DSV’s capabilities and project management process was rewarded.
