Our Strategy
Our vision is simple but bold – we aspire to create the supply chain of the future to help our customers navigate the digital economy and to make life better for one billion people in the supply chain.
We are facing an era of exponential change. The convergence of technologies has changed the way consumers and businesses interact. Our strategy is focused on speed, innovation and digitalization of the supply chain whilst putting purpose at the core of what we do.
Supply chain innovation
We convene the global supply chain creating customized, end-to-end supply chain and logistics solutions for brands and retailers. What sets us apart is our high degree of flexibility and scalability which is unrivaled in our industry.
Millions of consumer goods pass through CHARLOTTE GROUP’s supply chain every year. For that to happen, we connect thousands of suppliers and vendors with leading brands and retailers, all with the goal of meeting consumer demand.

Traditional supply chain management is undergoing massive change driven by disruptive technologies in the retail industry.
At CHARLOTTE GROUP, we’re changing the game and landscape of our industry with innovative services and solutions. Our scale allows us to act as a catalyst for change and as a convener of our supply chain partners.
Starting with product design and development and including everything from compliance to raw material and factory sourcing, manufacturing control, logistics, and more, we offer end-to-end services for all stakeholders in the consumer goods industry. Our offices and teams are based in all key production markets, giving us the expertise and extensive network of supply chain partners needed to meet the diverse needs of our global customers.

This allows them to stay ahead of the disruptions at retail, capture data-driven insights, and enhance productivity.
