FluffCo
Fluff.co is a prominent American brand known for its luxury bedding and hotel-quality pillows. The brand prides itself on offering products crafted from the same high-quality materials as those used in five-star hotels, but without the steep markup typically associated with premium goods.
Ecomflow unlocked several things for us, most notably faster transit times from our factory to customer shipment, less capital tied up in sea freight, shorter lead time planning, and global shipping from one hub. If you combine all of these things, you have a fundamentally more powerful business.

Challenge
Despite its success in the U.S., FluffCo faced significant challenges in scaling globally. The traditional model of purchasing large stocks based on forecasts and shipping them to the U.S. for fulfillment was both cashflow intensive and risky.

Cash Flow Optimization: By shifting to an on-demand manufacturing model, FluffCo was able to buy products based on current market demand rather than outdated forecasts. This strategy significantly reduced the intensity of their cash flow, allowing them to allocate resources more effectively across their operations.
