Crane & LeSaint: E-Commerce & Supply Chain Case Study

An intelligent, flexible solution enables global manufacturer of small appliances to rapidly grow their e-commerce business.

Crane began with designs for small home appliances in 2005, and  demand for the company’s creative designs and high-quality products has grown by leaps and bounds since then.  As complexities of e-commerce and the need for shorter lead times increased amongst their retailer customers, Crane partnered with LeSaint in 2014 to take their distribution to the next level. LeSaint offers the high levels of customer service, process discipline and support necessary to deliver a high-performance operation  in Illinois and California.  This includes meeting stringent requirements from Amazon and other e-commerce retailers, and a sophisticated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution that ensures Crane can have the tracking capabilities inherent in compliance with FDA regulations for its products.  LeSaint also provides value-added services such as damage reporting, custom labeling, repacking and drop shipping.
