Case Study: Mishimoto Automotive achieves uninterrupted deliveries and shipping savings with Redwood Logistics

Mishimoto Keeping Cool Under Pressure With Rapid Implementation

Mishimoto Automotive, a world leader in performance automotive cooling products, faced a critical challenge when a sudden break with a provider threatened to disrupt its client deliveries. They needed to rapidly transition their 3PL operations, which required setting up a new Transportation Management System (TMS) and establishing new rates and processes for both full truckload and less-than-truckload shipping. At the recommendation of a consultant, they quickly engaged Redwood Logistics for assistance.

Redwood Logistics implemented a rapid solution by setting up a MercuryGate TMS instance and launching two Mishimoto locations in less than two weeks, preventing any disruption to the customer's operations. Beyond this urgent fix, Redwood also provided carrier contract assessment for parcel shipping, resulting in significant cost savings. The vendor's work delivered a 7% savings on LTL shipping and a 12% savings on parcel shipping, positioning Mishimoto for ongoing success in its global market.
