Experience the Halo Effect™
How EcomHalo helped ZVOX Audio return to big-box shelves after
18 months of lost sales
When COVID-19 disrupted supply chains, ZVOX Audio scrambled to convert to a dropship model—but lost 18 months of ecommerce sales anyway.
That’s when EcomHalo stepped in.
With a one-of-a-kind Retail Acceleration + Omnichannel Optimization model, EcomHalo helped ZVOX Audio reopen lost revenue streams, expand their retail presence, and reduce transport spending.
Store. Ship. Strategize. Seamless. That’s the Halo Effect.

Meet the company that changed TV sound.
Founded in 2003 by consumer electronics industry veterans, ZVOX Audio’s mission is to make high quality, high performance sound systems easy to use.
In 2004, ZVOX took the multi-speaker home theater sound system and condensed it to an all-in-one-cabinet device. That was ZVOX 315: the first commercially successful soundbar.
For the company that transformed a cluttered system into one beautiful, user-friendly device, partnering with EcomHalo just made sense.
A chaotic system
complicated every decision.
Even before COVID-19, ZVOX was struggling with daily workflow snags and slowdowns as a result of inefficient logistics.
Wide range of products + multiple sales channels + warehouses owned by multiple fulfillment companies each using a different Warehouse Management System = 10x the headaches.
With their fulfillment and logistics management so scattered, it was hard to make data-driven decisions regarding inventory allocation—which meant constant last-minute small shipment fees between warehouses.
ZVOX needed a strategy that mirrored their business philosophy: take a complicated system and make it simple.
“It resulted in paying truckers too much money and it didn’t make any sense. But it was done anyway because that’s all we knew how to do.”
—Tom Hannaher
THE SOLUTION
Turning chaos into orders—
with EcomHalo.
Small shipment costs eliminated.
By centralizing their physical and digital logistics, ZVOX no longer spends time and money moving product between warehouses. As a savings multiplier, ZVOX leveraged EcomHalo’s pool of carrier partnerships to receive competitive rates on domestic parcel shipping.
Maximum efficiency. Minimum decision-making.
One logistics partner handles all order fulfillment. 95% of ZVOX’s inventory is stored in one warehouse staffed with on-call fulfillment specialists.
Freight transport as easy as drag-and-drop.
If ZVOX needs to reallocate a truckload of inventory, there’s no need to source a driver. All they have to do is move product on the digital dashboard. EcomHalo takes care of the rest.
