Case Study: Rexel reduces transportation costs with AFS Logistics

Rexel saves $1.17 million in parcel costs with AFS Logistics

Rexel USA, a major electrical distributor, struggled to control its parcel and LTL shipping costs, manage freight claims, and ensure consistent service delivery. With a large roster of carriers and limited reporting capabilities, the company faced challenges in tracking performance and mitigating the impact of annual rate increases. To address these issues, they partnered with AFS Logistics for parcel and LTL cost management services.

AFS Logistics implemented a custom visibility solution and strategic processes for Rexel. This included consolidating LTL carriers, auditing and correcting accessorial charges, and establishing a new parcel claims process. As a result, AFS helped Rexel reduce its LTL carriers per distribution center by 75%, recover $238,000 through freight claims in 15 months, and generate $1,176,000 in annual parcel savings.
