Case Study: Republic Plastics achieves reduced freight spend and expanded visibility with BluJay Solutions

Republic Plastics Achieves Cost Savings Through Visibility from BluJay Solutions

Republic Plastics, founded in 1999, manufactures private‑label foam tableware from four U.S. plants and spends about $8 million annually on freight. Rapid growth and a shift from long‑haul to regional shipping (average distance dropping from ~1,500 to ~500 miles) made the company’s spreadsheet- and fax-based transportation processes too slow and complex; Republic sought a SaaS transportation management system to streamline planning, improve service, and cut freight costs.

BluJay Solutions delivered a cloud TMS that provided end‑to‑end visibility across customer, internal, and carrier touchpoints, centralized transportation functions, and improved collaboration and staff efficiency. The implementation reduced planning time and freight spend, while enabling Republic to manage regionalized shipments more effectively and support continued growth.
