Case Study: Aspire Bakeries achieves actionable supply chain intelligence and 40% faster settlement with e2open LaaS

Aspire Bakeries Turns Data Into Actionable Intelligence With LaaS

Aspire Bakeries, a North American foodservice and retail baker with 14 bakeries and well-known brands like Otis Spunkmeyer and La Brea Bakery, faced a fragmented logistics operation and was only using its transportation management system (TMS) for basic freight tendering. Growing volume and weather-related disruptions made it clear the company needed to fully leverage TMS data and capabilities to improve service and efficiency.

Aspire partnered with e2open’s Logistics as a Service (LaaS), which provided a dedicated team to run the TMS and deliver analytics-driven execution. Within a year Aspire saw a 40% reduction in delivery-to-payment processing time, a 2% improvement in on-time delivery, a 4.5% increase in multi-stop planning and a 57% rise in intermodal use, while gaining greater visibility, consistency and the ability to focus internal staff on core business priorities.
