2025 threw everything at you
Tariffs. Shifting consumer behavior. Rising expectations for faster, cheaper delivery. But here’s what happened: brands like yours adapted.
They found ways to optimize fulfillment. They delivered faster without breaking the bank. They turned complexity into a competitive advantage. They accomplished things they didn’t think were possible a year ago.
That’s exactly what these stories are about. This year, our community turned to the retail and ecommerce leaders who figured it out—the ones who went live in two months, shipped 2-3x more daily units while cutting labor costs, and implemented ship-from-store across 60+ locations in just six months.
Our readers also leaned into practical resources: real-time tariff intelligence, AI implementation strategies, and even a supply chain “whodunit” game that delivered a much-needed break from peak season.
At Deposco, we know you need real help, fast. Not in two years. Not someone else’s marketing reheated. But expertise from real people who have been in the trenches, who understand your world, and who are building the innovation you need when and where your retail brand needs it.
Here’s what resonated most with retail and ecommerce leaders in 2025:
⭐️ You watched these retail success stories most ⭐️
1. Psycho Bunny (Retail)
Read how the premium fashion brand implemented ship-from-store functionality across 60+ locations in just six months, shipping over 62,000 orders while reducing processing time from 2-5 days to under 48 hours. Psycho Bunny cut short ships by 90% through improved inventory accuracy, alongside a 30% increase in Available-to-Sell (ATS) inventory across their store network.
“We were selling inventory we didn’t actually have in stock, which put us at risk of disappointing customers after we’d already made the sale. Once we matured on the Deposco system, we saw our short ships drop dramatically from 10% to just 1%. Now, we can make those promises and know that we won’t break them.” – Jean-Aymeri Magistris, VP of IT, Data & Analytics and PMO, Psycho Bunny
2. Power Design Resources (Wholesale)
Read how Power Design Resources is shipping 4x more orders — a 10x revenue increase — with 99.7% order accuracy. An alternative to fulfillment in their ERP, Deposco’s innovation fixed issues that led to costly delays in construction schedules. In addition, cycle counting and image scanning show clients exactly what left the warehouse, eliminating onsite confusion and saving the team in damage and lost goods replacement.
“We are really big on innovation, so when looking for a WMS, we wanted a partner who shared that value. We absolutely love the Deposco team; they are quick to get back to us on new ideas and usually it’s implemented in a day or two.” – Shea Tully, VP of Operations, Power Design Resources
3. Reformation (Fashion Retail)
Read how Reformation achieved a 50-100% increase in productivity across functions, optimized international shipping to reduce costs, and established 100% visibility of B2B and B2C in one system.
“We are making big strides to ensure that we put our growing wholesale business on the right process and technology stack. Deposco is very helpful to us in how we do B2B fulfillment versus our traditionally strong B2C business.” – Ivan Tchakarov, COO, Reformation
4. Hourglass Cosmetics (Consumer Goods)
Read how the vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand went live with MVP capabilities in just two months, onboards new employees in 15 minutes, and now operates as both a brand and a 3PL for sister brands. The brand saw a 6.5x year-over-year increase in shipments, with an order accuracy rate of 99.95%.
“We signed with Deposco six months ago and we’ve been live for three months. You do the math on that!” – Jon Siracusa, VP of Operations, Hourglass Cosmetics
5. DIME Beauty (Consumer Goods – DTC)
Watch the webinar featuring DIME Beauty. The brand’s impressive success story shows how Deposco enabled 232% more daily units shipped while reducing labor costs by 14%. By eliminating time-consuming manual processes, DIME Beauty now efficiently serves nearly one million ecommerce orders plus 1,087 ULTA stores.
“Deposco arranged an offsite meeting with actual users who had just implemented the system. They didn’t lead the witness; they allowed me to lead the conversation, getting my questions answered transparently without anyone standing over my shoulder. It was a true peer-to-peer relationship that showed their confidence in their solution.” – David Luna, Senior Manager of Fulfillment, DIME Beauty
