Chainalytics Helps Fortune 500 Company Save Millions with Supply Chain Network Design Project

Following a recent acquisition, the Leading Building Materials Manufacturing Company faced a complex challenge: integrating overlapping product lines, transportation, sourcing, and order fulfillment strategies across a newly expanded global supply chain. The company turned to Chainalytics for supply chain network design and analysis to determine the best way to combine operations while lowering total cost and maintaining service levels.

Chainalytics built an integrated supply chain network model, evaluated consolidation and finishing options, and recommended a more efficient footprint for distribution, sourcing, and planning. The analysis helped the company select a network strategy that improved service and reduced costs, with an estimated 6.1% total cost savings opportunity over three years, including 2.8% in near-term savings from freight consolidation and 3.3% from optimized sourcing and distribution decisions.
