Customer Focus

Our customer-centric approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of each of our retail partners, with a focus on delivering true value-add. Land’N Sea offers customers a broad set of inventory management tools, including personalized in-house trend forecasting and planning, supplier managed inventory, direct- to-store EDI replenishment, sales analytics, and product lifecycle management. We leverage big data at the point of sale level to support our customers’ product selection, and better inform their buying decisions. Our unique process not only enhances our retail partners’ overall product appeal, but also maximizes their financial performance through faster inventory turns and higher profit margins.

Targeted Design

Land’N Sea’s in-house design and development personnel create exclusive product that leverages historical sales data, utilizes new trend direction, and demonstrates a solid understanding of the fashion style of our retail partners’ core customer. Our creative teams are constantly evaluating the retail apparel landscape by attending industry trade shows and extensively shopping the market both domestically and abroad. In addition, our design and development teams meet frequently with our customers’ merchandising teams to collaborate on product development and to share valuable market insight. Our real-time industry analytics, combined with our flexible production capabilities, support our distinct ability to produce on-trend product at competitive prices.

Global Sourcing

In order to produce the highest quality product, Land’N Sea is dedicated to identifying the best raw material sources available. We independently source our raw material purchases from around the globe to meet our customers’ needs. These materials include fabric, linings, zippers, buttons, labels, and tags. We also stock raw materials in-country to reduce manufacturing and order fulfillment lead times. Land’N Sea manufactures product worldwide, with our largest production in India, Vietnam, China, Guatemala, and El Salvador. In-country, we support our manufacturing partners with local Land’N Sea team members to oversee the movement of raw materials, and to provide quality assurance to ensure that finished goods meet the exact product specifications of our retail partners. In addition, the Land’N Sea global compliance team works closely with our manufacturing partners abroad to verify strict adherence to our stringent social and ethical requirements in every facility in which we operate.

Global Presence

Our in-country team members provide Land’N Sea with a distinct operating advantage by extending the geographic reach of our presence, and vastly improving our ability to operate overseas. Land’N Sea’s in- country personnel are intimately familiar with their respective markets, and are well-positioned to source the highest quality materials and production facilities for our customers’. Beyond sourcing, our local personnel perform in-depth raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods audits, providing assurance that only the highest quality product ever leaves its country of origin. Once ready for shipment, our logistics and import tracking teams constantly monitor the location of product in real-time, reacting immediately to any challenges that may arise.

Corporate Mission

Our corporate mission focuses on building partnerships, improving the environmental impact of our operations, and providing a true value-add to all of our retail partners. Each of our team members is committed to making a positive impact in the communities in which they live and work. Investing in and caring for our communities is a core value, and we strongly believe in creating a culture in which every Land’N Sea team member is committed to the mission.
