Walking Comfort Accelerates Ecommerce Growth with Descartes Sellercloud™
ATLANTA, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Utah-based Walking Comfort, a leading retailer in the local and online footwear market, is using Descartes Sellercloud™ to help drive ecommerce growth by centralizing and synchronizing the management of product listings, inventory, orders and fulfillment across multiple online sales channels.
“As the business grew and we expanded to a larger warehouse and more online marketplaces, we realized we needed a more sophisticated inventory and order management system to boost time-savings and operating efficiencies,” said Brad Hendricksen, Accounting and Operations Manager at Walking Comfort. “With Descartes Sellercloud, we have a powerful platform that has facilitated ecommerce growth, saved us hundreds of hours per week by automatically consolidating data across all sales channels, eliminated picking errors so staff no longer pick the wrong size or variation, and cut shipping costs by more than 55%—even enabling us to dropship directly from retail locations if it’s the most convenient and cost-effective option for a customer.”
Descartes Sellercloud is a cloud-based ecommerce platform that helps small and mid-market retailers, distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers with omnichannel ecommerce operations centralize the management of their catalog, inventory, orders, purchasing, fulfillment and shipping. With 350+ integrations, including to marketplaces, shopping carts, shipping partners, third party logistics providers, payment gateways and vendors, the solution provides a comprehensive ecommerce ecosystem that companies can easily leverage to expand operations as they grow.
“We’re pleased our solution is supporting Walking Comfort as they’ve grown their business,” said Mikel Richardson, General Manager, Ecommerce at Descartes. “Using the platform, sellers can reduce operational complexity by simultaneously updating inventory and orders in real-time, avoid underselling and overselling inventory, stay compliant with marketplaces requirements, save shipping costs by automating fulfillment, and grow their business by adding more sales channels and products without losing control of inventory or order visibility.”
