Case Study
Brooklinen powers their production process with Anvyl
Based in Brooklyn, NY, Brooklinen has established itself as the leading e-commerce disrupter of the overpriced and overcomplicated home essentials industry. They offer global customers a curated collection of stylish, luxury grade linens at an accessible price point. After raising a Series B of $50 million in March 2020, the company had plans to scale its products into new stores and regions. To do this, they needed an operational framework that could help them streamline and automate their process.
After evaluating both an ERP and Anvyl, they decided to move forward with Anvyl first to centralize all of their production data and collaborate with their suppliers for better visibility into the status of their goods. With Anvyl, the team thought the platform could help them develop a strong structure, process, and more efficient workflow for everyone on their team.

I’ve tried to create systems like this at my old roles but nothing close to what Anvyl does. The Anvyl platform gives us everything we need to align our team during the production process.
