Executive Summary
Dragon’s Den is Canada’s favourite reality show in which entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas in order to secure investment finance from a panel of venture capitalists.
Following a successful pitch to the dragons, EZclipse was able to gain the backing of dragon Manjit Minhas. This new partnership brought expertise in cost optimization, retail connections along with the $150,000 for a 20% stake in their business.
This national exposure caused EZ Clipse to grow at an immense rate. Kory Keogan, an owner of EZClipse, knew that as his company grew their ecommerce and retail channels it would be challenging to continue managing their fulfillment in house.
Ottawa Logistics helped take EZclipse to the next level by expanding their fulfillment and order processing capabilities to keep up with the large increase in customers over a short amount of time. Ottawa Logistics also worked with EZClipse along with the right omni-channel partners to achieve the perfect omni-channel fulfillment strategy.

EZClipse is well on its way to becoming an industry leader in the recessed lighting space with it’s stylish innovative lighting solution.
The Challenge
National exposure on the hit TV show Dragon’s Den launched their business to the next level in a short time frame. With increased interest from large retailers and online consumers, they faced the challenges of automating their logistics in order to meet the demand of orders arriving from various retail channels. EZclipse needed a logistics partner that would provide them the solutions and experience to give their company scalability in order to continue on their growth trajectory.
