“We onboarded the Zefyr team for a 6-week engagement to support in the development of a 3-year supply chain and sourcing strategy. The Zefyr team were able to build strong relationships with key stakeholders across the business over a short period of time, and leveraged their deep expertise in apparel supply chain strategy to create recommendations that were tailored to our business’ needs.

They also ensured a clear roadmap was provided with practical steps for our teams and the support required to ensure we could now start bringing their recommendations to life.”
