Thoroughbred Fulfillment is an order fulfillment firm providing a variety of value-added services for over a dozen large clients. The primary activity is the shipment of literature, fabric samples, and amenities, along with some product assembly. All orders are shipped the same day. Thoroughbred operates in a very competitive field and must operate on fixed contract revenues with narrow margins. NDS has worked with Thoroughbred to fine-tune their order entry and material handling processes, reducing the cost and improving the speed of processing and shipping each order. NDS makes it possible for Thoroughbred to manage each client operation independently, satisfying a diverse set of sales and accounting reporting needs required by each client. This advantage has allowed Thoroughbred to aggressively seek new business in areas where their competitors can not. See what they have to say..
