American-made, sustainable, virtually indestructible pants for active men.
About Bluff Works
Bluff Works is a line of American-made, sustainable, virtually indestructible pants for active men. The company is headquartered in New York City and the pants are produced there as well. These modern, wrinkle-free, versatile pants can be worn multiple times without washing or maintenance and are designed for work or play. Customers range from active men to technology buffs that don’t want to spend time on their clothing, but want to look great. A pair of Bluffs can stand being rolled, stuffed in a bag, and most important, can be worn time and time again without washing or ironing.
In fact, Stefan Loble, the founder, featured himself in a video swimming in the ocean while wearing Bluffs and then going to dinner in the same pants that night. “While most men won’t put their pants through such extremes, just getting a few additional wears than a traditional khaki is a huge improvement,” Loble said.

The Solution
DM Fulfillment is a user of SPS Commerce’s cloud service to enable streamlined integrations with retailers and has allowed it to more fully embrace the demands of omnichannel that require error-free order processing, allowing it to retain a growing roster of retail customers.
The SPS service has faclilitated DM Fulfillment’s ability to deliver the omnichannel experience on behalf of it’s clientele directly to the consumer. With SPS, there is a high level of expertise in retail that it gives the confidence to engage with a growing number of retail customers and guarantee performance. This allows DM Fulfillment to efficiently get up to speed with new customers.
Another ace up DM Fulfillment’s sleeve is it proprietary distributed order management system (DOMs) that allows it to maximize fulfillment across its Fulfillment Centers. DOM looks at inventory and inventory then automatically fulfills from the closest stock to the destination while optimizing inventory. Combined with DM Fulfillment’s omnichannel is a powerful solution.
