Why it works

The case study leads with a striking volume number (6,300% TEU growth) which anchors it firmly as a Breakthrough story despite a secondary thread about visibility replacing uncertainty. The narrative traces Simple Modern's entire trajectory from sub-10 TEUs in 2016 to nearly 600, giving the growth claim concrete context. The Sam's Club partnership moment works as a natural pivot point that shows Flexport scaling alongside the customer rather than just enabling baseline operations.

Steal this

Anchor the headline metric to the customer's founding year to make compounding growth visceral. Showing the starting number (fewer than 10 TEUs) alongside the current number (nearly 600) makes the 6,300% figure feel earned and verifiable rather than abstract.
