Multi-brand housewares wholesaler with design-led product development
Core Home operates a portfolio of 20+ housewares brands sold through major retail partners globally, anchored by design and product development rather than in-house manufacturing. The tech stack reflects a wholesaler's workflow: Adobe Creative Suite dominates (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), paired with Shopify for commerce, Gorgias for customer support, and supply-chain tools (JDA, Blue Yonder, Circana, NielsenIQ). Hiring is sales-and-design-heavy with junior dominance, yet pain points cluster around inventory accuracy and order fulfillment—suggesting operational scaling gaps that outpace current staffing.
