Client Overview

​

The client is a major global hospitality chain with properties across the world. They faced significant challenges with their amenities supplier due to an inability to distribute to several countries, lack of control over the distribution channel, and high landed costs that made rolling out a brand standard difficult for hotel owners. Furthermore, their supplier experienced supply disruptions because of their centralized manufacturing model that proved unsustainable especially during pandemic-related lockdowns.

• Distribution Inaccessibility: The previous supplier could not distribute to several countries, impacting the hospitality chain's ability to maintain brand standards worldwide.

​

• Exorbitant Landed Costs: Exorbitant costs due to poor distribution and logistical challenges prevented the rollout of consistent brand standards.
