About The Customer
Harry’s is a men’s personal care brand that has seen remarkable success since being founded in 2013. After its strong performance selling subscription-based shaving products, the company has expanded into multiple new product lines and markets. Now they’re piloting Anvyl to meet the supply chain complexity their growth has spurred. Matt Gornstein, Director of Global Sourcing at Harry’s, manages one of four critical teams that make up the company’s supply chain operations. As the company grows, Gornstein and his team are constantly on the lookout for ways to scale in a smoother, more cost-effective way. Harry’s continues to launch products across new channels and geographies, and the sourcing team is excited about the visibility Anvyl can give them into their supplier and production activity across the globe.
The Challenge
The Harry’s sourcing team actively searches for tools and systems that can supplement their dynamic supply chain in an effort to find more scalable ways to track data about suppliers, manufacturing, and shipments. The team has been piloting Anvyl in hopes of adopting an automated solution for increased transparency across the supply chain, specifically with production reporting and tracking. As part of the pilot, the sourcing team is starting to move purchase order data over to Anvyl’s Production Hub, so they can test it as a central place for everyone to see sourcing and production information.
The Solution
The sourcing team at Harry’s already sees promise in Anvyl, hoping to use the platform’s intuitive, easy-to-digest format to encourage a culture of accountability and transparency for the entire supply chain journey. They use the Production Hub to quickly check in on the POs they’ve issued and confirm critical milestones, like when a product is being manufactured, packed, or shipped to one of the Harry’s distribution centers. The Harry’s sourcing team places a high value on supply chain transparency, noting that the suppliers who leverage the platform can easily provide updates to the team, which means fewer surprises when it comes to delivery dates. “With Anvyl, someone on the team can check the PO dashboard to ensure our orders are being produced and product is going to ship on time”, Gornstein says.
