Case Study: Ferrara Candy Company achieves 70% growth readiness and improved efficiency with BluJay Solutions' Logistics as a Service (LaaS)

Ferrara Candy leverages BluJay’s LaaS while preparing for business growth

Ferrara Candy, an international confectioner with more than $1 billion in annual sales and roughly $60 million in freight spend, operates multiple manufacturing plants, distribution centers and dozens of partner locations. After implementing BluJay’s TMS and Procurement tools, the company’s transportation team dropped from eight to four people just as a Ferrero acquisition created a projected 70% volume increase within 24 months—leaving Ferrara with a critical capacity and talent challenge.

Ferrara engaged BluJay’s Logistics as a Service (LaaS), using three years of TMS data and a 12-week staged rollout that included on-site shadowing, weekly reviews and a phased transfer of inbound, interplant, outbound and administrative duties. The LaaS team brought experienced TMS users and scalability, freeing internal staff to focus on strategic process and systems work. The result was increased bandwidth, better data visibility and tracking, improved workflows and measurable process improvements.
