One of the more creative and fast growing companies we have partnered with is a firm by the name of Ocean Lineage. Ocean Lineage is headed up by Ryan Dubach formerly an operations manager for a company focused on the power sports industry. When Ryan contacted us at Frontline Distribution I instantly had a feeling that our firms shared a similar vision of how a business could be run to provide ample income but yet the life style that every entrepreneur deserves over time.
When we first started helping Ocean Lineage, Ryan and his partner Linus were running the firm out of Ryan’s home and he wanted to us start helping him receive his Stand up Paddle Board containers in our Los Angeles CA and Atlanta GA facilities. From there the plan was they were going to focus on design, production, and ultimately sales and marketing and Supply Chain Management was going to handle all back end warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and ultimately the outbound freight shipping to stores and end consumers.
Since we began working with Ryan and Ocean Lineage the company has tripled in size over the past three years. Ryan now handles all North American Import, Sales, and distribution of not only Coreban Stand up Paddle but now Boga Stand up Paddle line too. With all this growth and success you would figure that we would have had to add a lot of rank and file employees to handle it but not so. Ryan is focused on back end automation and has leveraged his relationship with Frontline Distribution now tasking our firm with import, warehousing, and freight distribution to all his end customers out of four regional hubs in key sales markets for their product line up.
This has allowed him to do even more with less and lower his overall cost of doing business while managing the while managing the overall process himself with a growing arsenal of easy to use ERP software that will ultimately connect to Frontline Distribution via EDI and automate almost all backend sales, pricing, rep splits, order management, then straight to us in real time for order fulfillment, outbound shipping, and tracking and dispatch relay. If your interests are not peaked by this short recount to make the situation sweeter Ryan upped and moved his company to the Incline Village Lake Tahoe and runs it exclusively from there. What to run and grow your empire from one of the most picturesque alpine lakes in the world?
