What 43South Has to Say
As a start-up company we had no sales history in place, so our forecasting was difficult. In order for us to sustainably grow, DHL looked at the trends with us to change our forecasting. We then began using DHL’s LCL Product. This helped us to consistently deliver our Products to our Customers with a sustainable supply chain, and allowing us to grow further.
