Integrated UK B2C fulfilment, technical workshop and aftercare solutions.
When global indoor cycling trainer brand JetBlack Cycling was preparing to launch its new VICTORY Smart Trainer in the UK via a direct-to-consumer (D2C) model, it required more than a traditional third-party logistics provider.
To ensure a seamless customer experience, JetBlack appointed Adaptive DCS as its exclusive UK fulfilment and service partner to deliver integrated warehousing, technical workshop services, customer care, and warranty support.
The partnership demonstrates how Adaptive’s B2C fulfilment infrastructure, with its workshop, enables international brands to scale confidently into the UK market.
The Challenge
JetBlack’s UK expansion introduced several operational complexities: Direct-to-consumer fulfilment of high-value electronic cycling equipment.
- Direct-to-consumer fulfilment of high-value electronic cycling equipment.
- Local-time customer service and technical support.
- Warranty handling and returns management.
- A premium brand experience aligned with performance-led positioning.
The product at the centre of the launch, the VICTORY Smart Trainer, was among the first certified Zwift-ready trainers, pre-installed with the Zwift Cog and equipped with Zwift Click controller shifters.
JetBlack needed a knowledgeable partner capable of delivering operational accuracy alongside an expert after-sales service.
