Consolidating lanes to take out cost
An industrial supplier
Eleven per cent out of freight spend by shipping less often, better.
The challenge
Frequent part-load shipments to the same region, booked ad hoc by three different people, at close to full-load rates.
What we did
We consolidated into scheduled weekly full loads with a buffer at our warehouse, so the customer’s delivery promise did not change.
The outcome
Freight cost down by more than a tenth with no change in service.
