Picture this: extravagant weddings, star-studded parties, and red-carpet events. Wanting your desired designer outfits without breaking the bank sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Enter Date The Ramp, a company which makes designer fashion accessible to women, conceptualising a way to allow rentals of designer outfits since 2015. The company uses a combination of fashion sourcing through designer relationships, dry-cleaning infrastructure, and a tech platform to help its members dress well.
Date The Ramp initially relied on traditional transporters and local vendors for logistics movement within the city. This included enabling last-mile deliveries from the warehouse to the consumer or sending goods to the airport for interstate movement. However, they encountered several challenges such as the two-way trip costs for ad hoc movements, difficulty finding vehicles for odd-hour requirements, and manual management of paper-based invoices. The overall lack of agility in the process resulted in wasted manhours, increased costs and high cancellations.
Date The Ramp needed a reliable logistics solution to streamline processes and support their business.
In 2021, Porter for Enterprise, a specialised logistics solution for businesses, swept in to provide Date The Ramp the ultimate fashion fix with its on-time, on-demand deliveries. Live-tracking allowed the team to keep an eye on their consignments and track the distance moved, with the charges incurred being in line with the actual distance travelled. Fulfilment was also improved because, with access to Porter’s extensive network, finding vehicles at odd hours became easy. The centralised dashboard also digitised the invoicing process which also offered a weekly summary. Additionally, dedicated support was also provided, including a Key Account Manager and access to weekly invoices.
Porter for Enterprise worked its magic by streamlining operations in multiple locations. By leveraging these services, Date The Ramp reduced their manhours by 60%. Overall costs were reduced by 40% while the time taken to coordinate with vendors was decreased by an impressive 70%. What’s more, using delivery codes for digitally verified deliveries added an extra layer of security to the process, making each delivery 100% safe and hassle-free.
Speaking about the partnership, Akhil Dev, Manager, Logistics & Operations said, “The enhanced visibility from Porter for Enterprise has been critical in our vision to make luxury more sensible and accessible. The process of finding vehicles and coordinating with them has been made much easier, making our operations more streamlined. Thanks to Porter for Enterprise, we are saving time and can hence focus on creating smarter ways to look gorgeous.”
By partnering with Porter for Enterprise, Date The Ramp now has a reliable logistics solution that enables them to uphold their commitment and deliver fashion dreams across 19+ cities in India.
