Case Study: Koch Foods achieves double-digit freight spend reduction with 3G Transportation Management

Shipping the Nation’s Most Popular Meat And keeping operations lean with hearty transportation management software

Koch Foods, a $5B+ producer and one of America’s largest chicken suppliers, faced a major transportation challenge: decades of analog processes across multiple business units and roughly $200M in annual outbound freight spend required consolidation and modern control. To gain visibility, standardize procurement, and take a control-tower approach to freight, Koch vetted several TMS options and selected 3G for its capabilities, flexibility, and cost.

Implementing 3G’s TMS delivered real-time rate and carrier performance visibility, stronger procurement controls, benchmarking across divisions, and a broader broker/carrier network to optimize contract and spot lanes. The result was substantial savings—double-digit reductions in freight spend and meaningful impact on a top-five cost center—faster procurement decisioning, resilience through the pandemic-era market, and scalable transportation operations for future growth.
