Bloom City Club Case Study on Payment on Sell-Through

This case study outlines how Bloom City Club utilized the Payment on Sell-Through (PoST) program to enhance their purchasing strategy and conserve working capital. The document describes Bloom City Club's initial challenge of paying for inventory upfront, which limited their cash flow for reinvestment. By adopting PoST, they were able to reduce upfront inventory investment, as payments are only made after the product sells through to consumers. The case study details the operational process of PoST, including order placement, insights gained during the order process, and the synchronization with Metrc for inventory tracking. It highlights the benefits for both buyers and sellers, including improved sales strategies and inventory management. The results section presents quantitative outcomes, such as a 40% payment delay on orders, a doubling of sales for certain SKUs, significant savings from excluding overstocked items, and zero stockout time due to enhanced visibility into inventory levels. Overall, the case study illustrates the positive impact of PoST on Bloom City Club's operations.
