”I always joke that I was born on a pallet in the warehouse at Thumbprint.” – Brian Gill

Brian, who has been an integral part of Thumbprint’s growth and success dating back to 2001, is stepping into a new role as President.

“Taking the reins of something my father set in motion 29 years ago is the ultimate privilege. When I say business is personal, I mean it.” Brian said. “With our rockstar team by my side, we’re ready to push boundaries. Thumbprint will continue to live at the intersection of automation and innovation and consistently deliver the services, products, and technology that our clients need and want.

Greg Gill, founder and CEO, will continue in his role, providing guidance and vision for the company’s future. While the rumor of Brian being born on the pallet in the warehouse may not be true, he’s been with Thumbprint for 23 years and working with his dad, Greg, for just as long.

”Brian is the bridge that connects our roots with our promising future.” said Greg Gill. “With 23 years at Thumbprint, he not only carries the legacy but also infuses it with fresh perspectives. His vision is clear, and his commitment to our core values is unwavering. We trust him to lead and innovate, ensuring that Thumbprint is always who our clients need us to be.”

The executive team, along with Brian and Greg, will work closely to continue implementing strategic enhancements for the benefit of their clients and partners.

Thumbprint’s Ongoing Commitment

Despite challenges faced by the industry, including the global pandemic, Thumbprint has remained steadfast in its commitment to clients.

“In true Thumbprint fashion, we’re forging ahead with innovation, all the while upholding our commitment to best-in-class service and the people who make it happen.”

Brian’s immediate plans include meeting with Thumbprint employees across all locations and personally engaging with key clients and partners to understand how the company can further add value.

About Brian

Brian’s strategic vision and creative mind have been instrumental in the company’s growth and success.

”There are too many individuals to name who have motivated and inspired me over the years, preparing me for this new chapter. My passion has always been people, and I’m humbled to lead such a talented group of individuals through this exciting time of hypergrowth.” Brian said.

With this leadership change, Thumbprint is poised for a new chapter of growth and success, maintaining its commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.

Background

When Front Row, a trendsetting global brand, knocked on our doors at Thumbprint with a thrilling challenge, we knew we were in for an adventure! The mission? Produce and ship 500 kits, each packed with 11 unique items, to all corners of the globe, in time for a dazzling brand unveiling. With bulk deliveries to the US, Canada, Germany, and Slovakia, and special drop-shipped packages to five other countries, the countdown was on!

Challenges

We faced a rollercoaster of challenges:

• Unique Sizing: Imagine fitting 11 uniquely sized puzzle pieces into each of 500 kits! Precision and creativity were key.
• Global Distribution: The kits needed to be delivered to nine different countries, each with its own customs regulations and delivery challenges.
• Timely Delivery: The kits had to arrive one day prior to the brand unveiling. This left no room for delays in shipping or customs clearance.
• Bulk and Drop Shipping: The distribution strategy involved both bulk shipping to four countries and drop shipping to individual residences in five countries. This required a complex logistics plan to ensure efficient and timely delivery.

Strategies Implemented

• To overcome these challenges, we implemented the following strategies:
  • Inventory Management: Advanced inventory management systems were used to ensure that each kit was correctly assembled with the 11 unique items. Quality control checks were also implemented to prevent any errors in packaging.
  • Customs Compliance: We worked closely with customs brokers in each country to ensure that all shipments complied with local regulations. This helped to prevent any delays in customs clearance.
  • Reliable Shipping Partners: Partnerships were formed with reliable shipping companies with proven track records in each of the nine countries. This helped to ensure that the kits were delivered on time.
  • Real-time Tracking: Real-time tracking systems were used to monitor the progress of each shipment. This allowed for quick identification and resolution of any potential issues.

Results

Despite the complexity of the task, all 500 kits were successfully delivered on time. The bulk shipments arrived in the US, Canada, Germany, and Slovakia one day prior to the brand unveiling. The drop shipments were also successfully delivered to individual residences in the five other countries on the same day.

The best part? A successful brand unveiling, and we’re honored these kits got to play a key role. Our blend of meticulous planning, artful execution, and dynamic logistics made sure every kit was a showstopper.

Despite the challenges of unique sizing, global distribution, timely delivery, and a combination of bulk and drop shipping, all 500 kits were successfully delivered on time. Our success is a standing ovation to our innovative systems, strong partnerships, and the real-time tracking that kept us in tune with every step of the journey. Encore, anyone?

In light of the potential UPS strike on August 1, stemming from unsettled labor contract negotiations, we anticipate notable delivery disruptions. Remember, even if you’re shipping with FedEx, the ripple effects could impact all domestic carriers.

As this situation unfolds, you might encounter some delivery delays. We will proactively keep you updated on any changes to delivery dates. If you have urgent, time-sensitive deliveries, we urge you to notify us as early as possible so we can strive to meet your needs. Timely coordination is key in this evolving scenario.
