Direct-to-consumer activewear brand scaling supply chain and inventory operations
Rhoback is a 11–50-person activewear brand headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, built around direct-to-consumer sales and wholesale distribution. The company's tech stack is heavily weighted toward Adobe creative tools and NetSuite for inventory/financials, with recent adoption of Celigo (iPaaS) — a signal they're automating data flows between Shopify, NetSuite, and fulfillment systems. Active hiring across design, operations, and planning, combined with project focus on replenishment planning, allocation strategy, and forecasting, reveals a company in growth mode managing multi-channel inventory complexity (retail, wholesale, e-commerce) while battling fulfillment delays and forecast-inventory mismatches.
Rhoback designs and sells activewear through direct-to-consumer channels, wholesale partnerships, and retail locations. The product strategy spans quick-turn embroidery programs, licensed product lines, and seasonal assortments. Operations are anchored in NetSuite for order and inventory management, with creative assets managed in Adobe's suite and point-of-sale integration via Shopify POS. The company faces recurring friction around purchase order delays, inventory availability gaps, and production timelines — typical of a small-to-mid-scale brand managing both owned and wholesale channels without fully integrated supply planning.
NetSuite for inventory, orders, and accounting; Shopify and Shopify POS for e-commerce and retail sales; Excel for analysis. Celigo was recently adopted to automate integrations between these systems.
