Case Study : Raising Cane's
Challenge:
As a growing fast-casual restaurant chain, Raising Cane's owned and managed their entire uniform program as well as a considerable inventory of marketing items. - In addition to the cost of administering their own program, Raising Cane's was splitting the distribution of their apparel and marketing items between two facilities - in essence doubling their freight cost. Raising Cane's was also paying well above a reasonable market value for their apparel. - Twice each year Raising Cane's performs a company wide uniform refresh, however, their supplier was taking up to 90 days to get the product in stores.
Solution:
Image Solutions purchased all existing apparel and marketing inventory from Raising Cane's. - Assumed on all administrative responsibilities for Raising Cane's uniform and marketing inventory programs. - Consolidated the ordering and shipping of both apparel and marketing items to one facilities reducing freight costs and ordering time.
Result:
Raising Cane's has saved 53% on their uniform program items and the lead time for the company-wide refresh has gone from around 90 days to 3 weeks. This has allowed Raising Cane's to get out of the uniform business and back to what they do best - making awesome chicken fingers.
