Now, back to the good stuff:

🟢 You're probably familiar with the common sentiment: Inventory can be a real necessary evil. Especially in the world of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) businesses, where the sexier aspects like marketing usually steal the spotlight, while the finer points of supply chain management tend to linger backstage. Yet, Izzy took a distinctive path. With a family background in manufacturing and a genuine understanding of supply chain intricacies, Izzy elevated himself above the usual supply chain practices. 🚚🏭⛓

🟢 In 2012, Izzy launched his own D2C home and kitchen brand. He later evolved it into a closed marketplace, gaining customer satisfaction and lower prices by carefully curating sellers on his website and implementing direct shipping from manufacturers to end customers.

🟢 Just last year, Browze shook things up by establishing a fulfillment center in China. The results were nothing short of spectacular: quicker deliveries, seamless USPS tracking, and a whopping 40% surge in profit margin. Witnessing the game-changing impact, Izzy didn't stop there. Riding the wave of Browze's success, Izzy then extended an open invitation to other DTC brands, leading to the birth of Portless!
