Case Study: Albertsons’ Safeway reduces transportation and scheduling costs with One Network Enterprises

Uses One Network’s platform for transportation operations across manufacturing and retail

Albertsons' Safeway, a major division of the second-largest food and drug retailer in the United States, faced significant challenges after centralizing its transportation operations. The manual, phone-based process for carrier tendering and appointment scheduling created a massive administrative burden, leading to poor delivery performance, increased costs, and a lack of visibility. Seeking to automate and streamline these processes, Safeway partnered with the vendor One Network Enterprises.

One Network implemented its Intelligent Logistics solution, specifically the Transportation Management and Appointment Scheduling applications, to centralize all related activities. The results were achieved in under three months and included a 90% reduction in scheduling overhead, yielding $2.35 million in annual savings, and a dramatic improvement in supply chain visibility and contract compliance. Due to this rapid return on investment, Albertsons plans to roll out One Network's solution across the entire company.
