Case Study: Industrial Pallet Racking Systems Manufacturer reduces freight spend with BlueGrace Logistics

a leading industrial pallet racking systems manufacturer saves $406K in 11 months with BlueGrace Logistics

An industrial pallet racking systems manufacturer was facing rising freight costs due to a decentralized $30 million operation across five sites. Without centralized visibility or standardized processes, the company lacked the tools to understand why costs were climbing. BlueGrace Logistics was brought in to design a managed transportation solution that could transform operations without disrupting their project-based, flatbed-heavy workflow or their long-standing incumbent carrier relationships.

BlueGrace Logistics implemented a phased, site-by-site rollout that included full ERP integration and a hybrid carrier model. This solution delivered $406,000 in freight savings within the first 11 months, a 3.5% reduction in total freight spend. BlueGrace also improved budget visibility and compliance, ultimately handling 40% of shipments through its own network while preserving the customer's key carrier relationships.
