Client Snapshot

Our client is a long-established, family-owned U.S. manufacturer specializing in advanced suspension solutions for off-road and utility vehicles. What started as a small workshop decades ago has grown into a nationally recognized aftermarket brand, known for breakthrough innovations that set industry benchmarks. Today, the company offers a broad portfolio of products distributed through dealers, resellers, and a thriving direct-to-consumer channel.

Business Drivers

  • Exploding SKU Complexity – 1,500+ suspension parts, each with vehicle-specific fitment rules.
  • Customer Expectation Shift – B2C shoppers demand Amazon-like speed and self-service accuracy.
  • Dealer Support Overload – Technical fitment questions flooded phone and email, slowing fulfillment.
  • Growth Mandate – The board set a goal to double online revenue in 24 months without ballooning headcount.
