The challenge

Spikeball relied on manual, knowledge-dependent warehouse processes and expensive third-party support, with no unified system to manage fulfillment across multiple regions.

The solution

Spikeball adopted a hybrid approach: ShipBob's WMS to run its owned US facility plus ShipBob's fulfillment network in Canada and Europe, connecting operations into one system.

We're saving hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, just in postage. When we first got started, we estimated over $400,000 in savings.
