Case Study: a global industrial machinery and equipment manufacturer achieves 16% parcel cost savings with Redwood Logistics

Redwood Achieves 16% Parcel Costs Savings For An Industrial Manufacturer

A global industrial machinery and equipment manufacturer was facing challenges with its complex parcel shipping operations, including sub-optimal carrier contracts and a failure to capitalize on credits, which was eroding its profit margins. To improve reliability and financial results, the company enlisted the help of Redwood Logistics and its Parcel Advisory service to negotiate better rates and establish reporting capabilities.

The solution from Redwood involved an audit to identify core issues, followed by mediation to rationalize the carrier mix and negotiate more favorable contracts. Redwood also implemented a Parcel Dashboard for analytics and reporting. As a result, the manufacturer achieved an overall savings of 16% on its parcel spend, exceeding its target, and now receives ongoing monthly audit and recovery savings.
