The challenge
One of the fastest-growing furniture retailers in the country – with a reputation for superior service – needed to expand into a new territory, and required a partner to support and protect their brand from order to delivery. With home delivery being a “high-touch” part of the customer experience, the company’s leadership needed a shipping and logistics company aligned with its customer-first focus that could also keep costs low.
Our solution
With 70 years in the business, CRST offered the total package, providing white glove home delivery services, local warehousing, customer support services and in-market leadership – along with lowered expenses.
“In addition to their service philosophy, CRST’s excellent pricing and unparalleled local expertise demonstrated their team’s commitment to delivering value and results for our company. The importance of having a partner you can trust cannot be overstated,” said Senior Vice President, Final Mile Logistics
As an industry leader in home deliveries and white glove installations, CRST’s capabilities include:
• Extensive warehouse and inventory management
• Robust customer support services
• Dedicated driver teams experienced in a market known for brutal winter weather
“Our team’s proactive approach and expertise in the region were pivotal in earning the trust for such a large market. Throughout the process, we maintained open communication with their leadership, discussed their specific needs and determined how we could help them continue to drive their business forward.”
