PureBeauty is a complete beauty lifestyle destination offering thousands of upscale products for hair, skin, nails, bath & body and home as well as hair and esthetic services in full-service salons. Each location features highly trained consultants, licensed estheticians, and stylists who are available to consult with customers regarding products and salon services. Personalized service, teamed with extensive product knowledge and variety, are the hallmarks that have propelled PureBeauty to its present level of success.
When PureBeauty realized their current distribution center was outdated and inadequate for handling projected growth, they decided to outsource their fulfillment to a 3PL provider. PureBeauty recognized the importance of focusing on their primary business "beauty", and leaving other aspects of the business to those that specialize there. As a result New Roads was selected as the 3PL of choice to fulfill the 57 stores, and projected store growth. Once the fulfillment decision was complete, the daunting task of product, equipment, technology and people movement needed to take place. Furthermore, all this needed to happen without interrupting store deliveries and maintaining the reliable flow of product from vendors.
With myriad consulting options available, PureBeauty along with their partner New Roads, chose Navesink Logistics to champion the move. Navesink is a viable alternative to boutique consulting firms as well as the old guard of the Big 5. As a result, Navesink has been able to provide PureBeauty with the expertise they desired and for 1/3 the cost of other firms. Navesink provided a seasoned logistics veteran Dave Walker with 28 years experience to tackle the project and recommend supply chain process improvements during and after the transition. The transition has been virtually seamless and to date is in good shape and on target for the original completion date. Al Calvanico, CFO of PureBeauty states, it is Purebeauty's intent to maintain a long and prosperous relationship with Navesink Logistics.

Thomas McKenna President and founder of Navesink Logistics, Inc., started the company in 1994 primarily as a transportation-consulting firm. Today, Navesink specializes in providing software integration and implementation services for the logistics and supply chain industry. Navesink established itself as a viable alternative to Big 5 consulting firms largely through its subsidiary Logjobs.com a high visibility job and resume board exclusively for the logistics industry. Navesink's virtual network consultant resources are of the same (frequently superior) caliber as that of Big 5 firms. And they are provided flexibly and affordably.
As the economy slowed significantly in early 2000, it was a natural progression to organize Navesink as an alternative to Big 5 firms. Not only were Big 5 firms unaffordable, but at the same time they were shirking even eliminating their supply chain implementation groups. Navesink recognized the demand for these services was not going to disappear but rather the method of delivery and cost of these services had to be different. Hence demand for Navesink's VNC (Virtual Network Consulting) concept was spawned and momentum continues building inexorably.
Navesink has a network of more than 1,000 subcontractors and 5 partner firms that provide pure technical integration, offshore development, enterprise visibility software, and WMS and TMS software.
