Case Study: a large retail giant achieves 15% annual savings with GEP Nexxe

Retail Giant Transforms Supply Chain, Achieves 15 Percent Savings Through Strategic Sourcing

The customer, a large retail giant, faced significant challenges in its Ecuadorian supply chain, dealing with over six suppliers across two sites for third-party logistics and co-packing. A lack of an ERP system and reliable data compounded these issues. GEP Nexxe was engaged to help the retail leader streamline operations and increase cost efficiencies.

GEP Nexxe redesigned the operational flow to consolidate all processes into a single facility. Through strategic sourcing, the vendor identified and negotiated with new suppliers, ultimately helping the client reduce its vendor count from six to two. This consolidation eliminated inbound transport services and reduced lead times by over 10%. GEP Nexxe's solution delivered estimated annual savings of 15%, or approximately $300,000.
