Portland Leather Goods leverages managed logistics services

A vertical retailer of handmade leather products is outsourcing inventory and warehouse management.

Oregon-based Portland Leather Goods, which sells handmade leather bags, purses, leather journals, backpacks, and other items with hides sourced from the U.S. beef industry via direct-to-consumer and third-party retail channels, leverages software-enabled inventory management and logistics capabilities from Cart.com.

During the recent peak holiday season, Portland Leather Goods handled more than 300,000 orders and shipped more than 500,000 bags utilizing hosted services from Cart.com. The retailer experienced 77% year-over-year growth during the fourth quarter of 2023. 

Cart.com bases its fulfillment solution on proprietary software and predictive analytics designed to streamline logistics operations, reduce costs and provide real-time inventory visibility. The company provides physical and digital infrastructure to support omnichannel commerce, including a suite of digitally-driven logistics capabilities, enterprise channel and order management software, and expert services.

“At Portland Leather Goods, we value quality and community above all else, which made Cart.com a natural partner for us,” said Scott Allen, director of operations at Portland Leather Goods. “Cart.com’s expertise has enabled us to deliver the best possible service to our customers, especially during critical shopping periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This was easily our best peak season performance in terms of fulfillment operations to date, thanks in large part to Cart.com’s warehouse team.”

“We are proud to close out an incredible holiday season with Portland Leather Goods, a company that prides itself on both leading with kindness and creating products of the highest quality,” said Omair Tariq, founder and CEO of Cart.com. “We are especially impressed with how we saw the Portland Leather Goods team put its values into action, celebrating our incredible frontline employees who worked tirelessly to pull off a record-breaking peak season for the Cart.com fulfillment network. We look forward to our continued partnership and accomplishing even more in the new year.”
