• Supply Chain Challenges:
-Expanding Delivery Network
-Rising Transportation Costs
-Lack of Supply Chain Visibility
-Cost
-Routing Efficiency
-Delivery Requirements
-Inefficient Invoice Audit & Payment Process
-Not Scalable
“Functional Inefficiency within the Supply Chain Processes”
Innovation: Challenging the Supply Chain
• Solution:– TMS Integration– Streamlined Execution and Freight Invoice Processes
• Standardized KPI Measurements
– Real Time Optimization & Load Building– Integrated Cost Allocation Logic
• Distance & Weight Allocation
• Results:– Reduced Delivered Pallet Cost from $203 to $170
• Maximized Routing Efficiency: Reduced Miles between Stops
– Improved Freight Audit & Payment Process– Cost Visibility ~ Shipment Accrual– Set the Table for a Company Wide RFP
Innovation: Challenging the Supply Chain
• Enabling the Vision:– Multiple Production Points
• Visibility of Cost• Optimizing the Distribution Network
Present to the Future State
What’s Next…
• Work Flow Improvement• Execution within One Platform
– All Modes to Include Small Package• The Slow Turn of Commodity Based Logic to
