1.8 Million Pounds Shipped Across the Globe

How Hedstrom Fitness tackled big-&-bulky fulfillment to achieve 1-2 day shipping.

Inventory Management
Overview
Hedstrom partnered with the Spreetail UK team in late 2022 with some distribution process, but no true strategy. They needed a partner that could help them expand globally with Prime enablement and while tackling additional channel opportunities.

Hedstrom is the sole licensee and distributor of BOSU fitness products. Founded in 1999 BOSU® - which stands for "both sides utilized" - is a leading brand in the fitness industry, known for their iconic BOSU® Balance Trainer which continues to be one of the most successful fitness training products in the world.

The Challenge
Before partnering with Spreetail, Hedstrom struggled with scattered distribution and inconsistent visibility into their business.
Frequent Stockouts
Inventory went out of stock often, making it difficult to understand true demand and shape SKU and brand strategy.
No Unified Geo Strategy
There was no consistent approach to multi-geography expansion, leaving international growth ad hoc rather than planned.
Incomplete EU Assortment
Hedstrom did not have its full product line listed in the EU market.
Limited Sales Visibility
They lacked clear insight into EU sales performance, making it hard to know what strategy to pursue.
Our Strategy
Spreetail built a coordinated, data-driven approach to help this brand grow share and expand with confidence across geographies.
  • Prime & Fast Shipping: Enabled Prime-eligible, fast delivery to improve customer experience and conversion.
  • Assortment Expansion: Grew market share by listing a broader range of SKUs.
  • Advertising Growth: Drove incremental market share through targeted advertising investment.
  • Geographic Expansion: Extended the brand's presence into multiple new geographies.

The Bigger Impact

Since taking on Hedstrom's UK and EU business, Spreetail has grown from a limited, unstructured distribution presence into the brand's primary strategy partner for international expansion. By keeping inventory consistently in stock, pairing it with a competitive retail price, and driving BSR enhancement, Spreetail has helped Hedstrom maximize sales and protect market share from competitors.

The partnership runs on close collaboration — a Joint Business Plan, bi-weekly calls, and consistent email communication. As a result, Hedstrom now has a true growth strategy with Spreetail continuing to lead expansion, assortment growth, and advertising performance across the UK and EU.
