In the competitive world of athleisure, newcomer brand, Powerlete, faced a challenge. Sales were multiplying month on month (great!), but with that, CEO Matt Elms faced some common growing pains...

↳ Increased demand meant replenishing existing products was eating into their profits
↳ Being a new brand without a long history, banks wouldn't give them access to financing
↳ Long lead times meant he had to think 4-6 months ahead to next season's inventory.

Matt needed to invest in new products 𝘯𝘰𝘸, but the cash flow was tight. 

How could he invest in growing the brand when the funds were needed just to keep things moving?

With 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝗳𝗹𝘆𝗲𝗿, of course.

We could see Powerlete's trajectory and were able to advance the brand the financing they needed to place the orders.

The result?

Powerlete was able to launch a number of new exciting ranges in time to capitalise on the hype and momentum. And with that came more customers, better LTVs, and higher AOVs...

Can we just say… Natural Products Expo was EPIC?! 🌴😍

From exciting discoveries to meaningful connections, it was a week to remember. Our team had such an amazing time networking, connecting with customers, and exploring all the awesome products out there.

🌟 Cheers to more wholesale financing adventures ahead!
