Case Study: TVO Logistics achieves significant logistics cost savings with Maine Pointe

TVO Logistics cuts third-party transportation spend by 34% with Maine Pointe

The client, TVO Logistics, a manufacturer of environmentally safe specialty chemicals, faced significant challenges due to siloed and inefficient supply chain processes after a period of rapid acquisition-based growth. Leadership lacked visibility into spend, operated an unmanaged private fleet with no cost controls, and had a logistics function assessed at a very low maturity level. To address this, they engaged Maine Pointe, which also provided an interim Chief Procurement Officer.

Maine Pointe implemented a solution focused on fleet rationalization and logistics optimization. The results included a 34% cost reduction in third-party transportation and an 18% reduction in private fleet operations. The vendor helped the client maintain production with fewer people, streamline processes, reduce bottlenecks, and raise the logistics function's maturity level. Maine Pointe created a sustainable management operating system to drive future optimization and business value.
