Case Study: URM Stores Inc. achieves exponential, scalable growth with Corcentric's fleet leasing and analytics

Corcentric’s Partnership with URM Stores Supports Exponential Growth

URM Stores Inc., a Spokane-based co-op grocery distributor with a 96% on-time rate and a fleet that includes 60 power units and 120 reefer trailers, experienced a sudden surge—35 new accounts in six months—that strained drivers and equipment for long, 300-mile one-way routes. To address this, URM partnered with Corcentric and relied on Corcentric’s fleet analytics and leasing services to gain equipment visibility and flexibility.

Corcentric deployed fleet analytics and flexible leasing options—extending select power units, sourcing short-term leases when OEM lead times were long, and aligning leasing schedules with URM’s demand—allowing URM to ramp up quickly without costly capital purchases or rentals. As a result of Corcentric’s support, URM maintained high service levels while expanding across the West, improved forecasting for future needs, and continued to support operations that log 5.3M miles per year and more than $1 billion in annual sales.
