Key Focus Areas :

Whenever there is a new supplier, the company gives them orders little by little, checking out their quality. The product is the property of Mango, and it is shipped to franchisee-owned shops, which pay the company according to how much they sell. The logistics system replenishes its stock every day in its European shops, and twice a week in its shops elsewhere around the world. The companys main logistics center is in Barcelona, site of its corporate headquarters. Logistical support is provided in three other locations New Jersey, Hong Kong, and Shanghai
