Arlington, VA – November 8, 2023 – IDS Services LLC, a leading provider of comprehensive logistics and supply chain solutions, today announced a strengthened partnership with Under Armour, focusing on optimizing the distribution of their popular line of bags. This collaboration aims to ensure Under Armour's bags – from gym bags and backpacks to duffels and travel totes – reach consumers quickly and efficiently, especially during peak seasons. For those who aren't familiar, IDS Services LLC, based right here in Arlington, Virginia (2500 Wilson Blvd Ste 200, 22201-3834, you can reach us at 910-272-1983), is basically the behind-the-scenes team that makes sure products get where they need to go, smoothly and without headaches. We handle everything from warehousing and order fulfillment to shipping and returns, so companies like Under Armour can focus on what they do best – making awesome gear. Under Armour bags are a huge hit, and for good reason. People are loving them. Whether it's athletes heading to the gym, students carrying books, or travelers needing a reliable carry-on, these bags are designed to keep up. They’re built tough, look good, and have all the features people need. But a great product is nothing without a solid way to get it into the hands of customers. That’s where IDS Services comes in. “Under Armour's commitment to quality and performance mirrors our own dedication to providing top-notch logistics solutions,” says a spokesperson for IDS Services LLC. “We’re really excited to be working closely with them to support the growing demand for their bags. It’s a win-win.” What’s the Problem? The Bag Demand is Real! Let’s be honest, getting a product from the factory to your door isn't as simple as it sounds. There are a ton of moving parts. We’re talking about managing inventory, coordinating shipments, dealing with potential delays, and making sure everything arrives in perfect condition. Especially with something as popular as Under Armour bags, the pressure is on. A surge in orders can quickly overwhelm a supply chain, leading to stockouts, late deliveries, and frustrated customers. Think about it – Black Friday, back-to-school, or even just a major fitness trend taking off. Suddenly, everyone wants an Under Armour backpack, and if the supply chain isn’t ready, people are going to be disappointed. How IDS Services LLC is Stepping Up IDS Services LLC isn’t just moving boxes; we’re building a smarter supply chain for Under Armour’s bag line. Here’s what we're doing: Strategic Warehousing: We've established strategically located warehouses to store Under Armour bags closer to key markets.

We're talking about automated sorting, efficient picking and packing, and robust quality control. We’re making sure every bag is packed securely and shipped with the right documentation. Multi-Modal Transportation: We don't rely on just one way to ship. We’re utilizing a mix of transportation methods – truck, rail, and air – to find the most efficient and cost-effective solution for each shipment. This flexibility allows us to respond quickly to changing conditions and avoid potential disruptions. Real-Time Visibility: We provide Under Armour with complete visibility into their supply chain through our advanced tracking and reporting systems. They can see exactly where their bags are at any given moment, from the warehouse to the customer’s doorstep. This transparency helps them make informed decisions and proactively address any issues that may arise. Scalability & Flexibility: We understand that demand can fluctuate. That's why our solutions are designed to be scalable and flexible. We can quickly ramp up or down our operations to meet changing needs, ensuring that Under Armour always has the right amount of inventory on hand.
