Case Study
Optimizing Rework operations for a multinational Sports Equipment brand
A globally recognized sports equipment company, with a vast retail network and a multi-distribution hub in Barcelona, Spain, faced significant operational challenges in managing product rework.
Their existing system for coordinating multiple subcontracted rework partners was inefficient, leading to lost revenue, compliance risks, and operational bottlenecks. Seeking a scalable and efficient solution, they turned to Flexireo for streamlined logistics and rework management.
The Challenge
Operating at scale, this multinational company relied on a network of subcontracted rework partners and their own subcontractors to process defective products. However, their system was plagued by:
Lack of visibility – No real-time tracking of products moving through rework cycles.
Scattered communication – Difficulty coordinating multiple rework partners
Lost and stolen products – Items went missing, with limited traceability.
No prioritization – No structured way to prioritize products based on demand.
Delayed shipments – Reworked products could not be sent directly to retail stores
These inefficiencies resulted in lost revenue, dissatisfied customers, and compliance challenges. The company needed a centralized, automated solution to regain control over its rework operations.
