Case Study: kdc/one achieves 20% transportation cost savings with Redwood Logistics

Redwood Drives 20% Transportation Savings for Private-label Leader Kdc/one

Knowlton Development Corporation (kdc/one), a private-label manufacturer for the beauty and consumer goods industries, faced challenges with its inbound logistics. Without a centralized system, the company lacked visibility and control, making it difficult to meet the exacting production schedules demanded by its customers. To address this, kdc/one partnered with Redwood Logistics for a transportation management system (TMS) and managed freight services.

Redwood Logistics implemented a TMS to provide end-to-end visibility and optimized kdc/one's carrier network. By also managing their Truckload and Less-Than-Truckload freight procurement as a service, Redwood delivered significant cost reductions. As a result, kdc/one achieved a 20% reduction in its annual transportation spend while improving customer service levels and centralizing its logistics decision-making.
