Case Study: a major foot care provider achieves 12.4% freight savings with ODW Logistics

Major Foot Care Provider cuts freight costs by 12.4% with ODW Logistics

The customer, a major foot care provider, was facing inefficient and costly supply chain challenges due to shipping individual less-than-truckload (LTL) orders as they were received. To reimagine their logistics, they partnered with vendor ODW Logistics for its third-party logistics (3PL) services.

ODW Logistics implemented a comprehensive five-step freight optimization process. This included conducting a transportation study, negotiating new LTL rates, and consolidating orders into multi-stop truckloads and pool distribution. The solution resulted in a 12.4% freight savings, decreasing the cost per pound from $0.46 to $0.39. Additionally, ODW Logistics helped achieve a 1.2-day increase in speed-to-market and $430,000 in chargeback savings.
