Case Study: FleetPride achieves smarter, more efficient supply chain management with IBM Analytics

Keeps the wheels of commerce turning with seamless supply chain management

FleetPride, North America’s largest distributor of truck and trailer parts, needed to keep its complex supply chain running smoothly so customers could get critical spare parts quickly. The company lacked standardized ways to measure operational changes and wanted to replace instinct-based decisions with data-driven insights.

IBM worked with FleetPride and Cresco International to deploy IBM Analytics tools including Cognos Analytics, SPSS Modeler, Planning Analytics, and CPLEX Optimization Studio. The solution helped optimize warehouse layouts, improve staffing forecasts, and design smarter distribution networks, leading to negligible overtime spend and 99.5% error-free packing while improving speed, productivity, and supply chain efficiency.
