RALEIGH, N.C. – Global Value Commerce, Inc. (GVC) – owner and operator of North America’s largest re-commerce platform for new and pre-owned golf gear – is pleased to announce that it has entered into a multi-year arrangement to provide logistics services to TRUE linkswear in Canada. The arrangement supports a key TRUE linkswear strategic growth initiative to establish operations in Canada to directly serve the Canadian consumer.
Utilizing its distribution center in the Greater Toronto Area, operations infrastructure and logistics capabilities, GVC will provide TRUE linkswear with inventory management, warehousing, product fulfillment, and reverse logistics as well as end-of-life product liquidation services. The partnership will allow TRUE linkswear to focus on its core competencies, thus fostering its business growth, market expansion and innovation.
“TRUE linkswear has grown tremendously over the past few years and we are excited to partner with GVC in Canada for the next phase of our growth. TRUE linkswear selected GVC due to their deep golf industry e-commerce and operational experience, convenient access to the Canadian consumer from the new and expanded GVC distribution facility in Mississauga, Canada and GVC’s extensive knowledge of the Canadian golf marketplace,” noted Jason Moore, CEO of TRUE linkswear.
GVC is leveraging its golf industry and logistics expertise to provide flexible, customized and optimal solutions for mid-market e-commerce businesses that previously operated with their own individual warehouses or utilized other third party logistics service providers. Additionally, the GVC logistics and reverse logistics solutions help bolster businesses that do not have the internal capacity to manage their own supply chain operations and product distribution networks. With this partnership, TRUE linkswear customers will experience improved transit times from order to delivery in a more cost-efficient fulfillment network.
“GVC is well-positioned to provide logistics and reverse logistics solutions for companies looking to expand into the Canadian market, and we believe that our partnership with TRUE linkswear will be the first of many opportunities to do so,” stated Zack Veasey, GVC Senior Vice President for Strategy and Business Development.
