Carhartt’s new CIO plans to revamp the workwear brand’s supply chain to speed up deliveries to customers
The new chief information officer of workwear brand Carhartt Inc. said she plans to standardize communication among its logistics and materials providers and tap insights from the company’s nascent data science team to overcome supply chain challenges.
“We’re still dealing with a lot of the constraints that came out of the supply chain challenges, and because of the growth we’re experiencing as a brand, that’s put a lot of pressure on technology,” Ms. Agusti said, adding, “[We’re] expanding our network capabilities more quickly than we anticipated.”
One objective, Ms. Agusti said, will be to activate inventory from across the supply chain network such that it can bypass distribution centers on the way to customers. Orders could potentially be filled directly from stores or factories, for example. Currently, she said, the majority of inbound supply must go to a distribution center first.
Ms. Agusti also said the company’s data science team will provide insights to help optimize the supply chain.
