Case Study: American Metalcraft reduces stockouts and gains supply chain visibility with Flexport

How American Metalcraft serves up digital transformation with Flexport

American Metalcraft, a nearly 100-year-old wholesale producer of kitchen and restaurant-ware, was struggling with legacy logistics processes that made it hard to manage in-transit inventory, measure total product cost, and get timely shipment updates. The company needed a digital upgrade to its freight forwarding operations, and turned to Flexport for a technology-based solution.

Flexport implemented its platform to give American Metalcraft’s buying and finance teams real-time visibility into shipments, delay alerts, and access to invoice data. As a result, the company can respond faster to supply chain issues, accurately calculate product costs, reconcile in-transit inventory with the balance sheet, and reduce stockouts through better control and decision-making.
