Editor's Notes
I am really excited to be here today as this is the first time that I have the opportunity to share the journey that we took about 18month ago when we decided to embrace a a new digital platform in our supply chain process so we could significantly improve the overall experience that our customer would get when they would order a product.
Started on the back of the tour bus and eventually migrated to a kitchen in Las Vegas
Factory in Irvine made in the us only.
Ear impression is made around the world
Oen Team, supply has a crucial role to play in the delight of the customer
from ear impression manipulation and initial handling of an ear impression, to the way an impression is transformed into a custom shell and populated and tuned.
