Case Study: Placon Corporation achieves significant transportation savings with Redwood Logistics

Placon Wraps Up Significant Transportation Savings

Placon Corporation, a manufacturer of plastic packaging, faced a challenge with its legacy third-party logistics provider that was not meeting its cost and service needs for shipping full truckload, less-than-truckload, and parcel freight. The company sought a new partner and had a narrow 90-day window to implement a new solution, leading them to engage vendor Redwood Logistics.

Redwood Logistics implemented its Oracle Transportation Management system and managed services, assuming control of Placon's freight operations within the demanding timeframe. The solution provided end-to-end visibility and integrated with Placon's ERP system. As a result, Placon realized significant reductions in its overall transportation spend and achieved both efficiency and customer service improvements through the partnership with Redwood.
