If you think Distribution and Call Centers are “behind the scenes,” you should
see the front-line action going on daily at Crate and Barrel. This is where the
real movers and shakers are. Managed with state-of-the-art technology, our
Distribution and Call Centers are hubs for an amazingly streamlined system of
inventory control, distribution, and customer relations that services all of
our business channels: Retail, Catalogue and Internet. A few statistics to give
you an idea of the scope of our operations…
We currently have four state-of-the-art Distribution Centers totaling over 2.5
million square feet. Our Naperville, IL campus is responsible for the entire
Midwest, Colorado and Texas. West Coast distribution is located in Tracy, CA
(Housewares) and Hayward, CA (Furniture). And our newest center in Cranbury, NJ
handles all units shipped to the East Coast. (We also occasionally have
recruiting opportunities at our Upholstery Warehouse in Lincolnton, NC and at
the following cross docks: City of Industry, CA; Hanover, MD; Boston, MA.)
Together, these four hubs handle 300,000 units coming and going a
daythat’s 80 million units annually. And that number only keeps going up.
Our Call Center headquartered in Naperville, IL annually services more than one
million customers worldwide. A special training program prepares our Call
Center associates to learn all aspects of our products and services, and to
effectively communicate that information to our customers. Training and
development also focuses on meeting the needs of each individual customer to
handle their requests in “Crate and Barrel style,” satisfaction guaranteed. In
all, the Call Center is responsible for processing over two million merchandise
orders per year placed through phone calls, the Internet, email and faxes.
If you’re motivated by the prospect of a career in logistics, distribution or
customer service, we encourage you to consider joining one of our Distribution
Centers or our Call Center. Our comprehensive training programs will not only
enhance your skills, but will also offer many opportunities for leadership
promotions. Which means you may just rack up some impressive numbers yourself.
