SanMar Tech Stack
Wholesale apparel distributor with eight regional distribution centers
SanMar operates the largest U.S. wholesale imprintable apparel network, moving inventory through eight distribution centers nationwide across a 1,000–5,000 person operation. The tech stack is operationally mature—SQL, Dynamics 365, EDI, Azure infrastructure—but shows no adopting or replacing signals, suggesting stability rather than transformation. Hiring velocity is accelerating across ops, logistics, and engineering, with a heavy mid-level and junior mix, paired with active projects in automation rollouts, distribution optimization, and AP/GL reconciliation, indicating internal focus on margin improvement and process tightening rather than new product or market expansion.
