Case Study: a $14 billion-plus global retailer achieves 15% supply chain savings with GEP strategic sourcing

Retail Giant cuts annual warehouse and transportation spend by 15% with GEP

This case study from GEP details how a large retail company transformed its supply chain. The customer, a global retail leader with over $14 billion in revenue, faced challenges with cost inefficiency due to managing multiple third-party logistics (3PL) and co-packing vendors for its operations in Ecuador.

GEP implemented a strategic sourcing solution to redesign and consolidate the client's procurement operations for these services. By reducing the number of vendors, GEP helped the retail giant achieve significant cost efficiencies. The measurable results included an approximate 15% reduction in annual spend for warehouse management and transportation, equating to roughly $300,000 in savings.
