The Challenge
Though H&M had been an established global name for years and had successfully penetrated the US retail market, the most significant area for growth – US internet (e‐commerce) sales – was untapped. H&M needed to establish their first e-commerce fulfillment presence in the US.
Our Strategy
The company needed site selection, implementation and operating expertise so they looked to ProVenture and a third party fulfillment operator to assist. The rapid growth of the United States client base required immediate capacity and a quick time frame for facility procurement.
The Results
ProVenture presented H&M with finalist properties in 3 states, along with competing incentive packages. Additionally, ProVenture provided a custom-tailor, transferable incentives package, as well as negotiated Refundable EDGE tax credits, a Local Training Grant and Personal Property Tax Abatement dollars.
