Case Study: Blue Dog Bakery achieves lower transportation spend and higher service levels with Redwood Logistics

Redwood Unleashes Cost And Service Benefits For Blue Dog Bakery

Based on a small Seattle houseboat, Blue Dog Bakery is a premium dog treat manufacturer that faced the challenge of managing volatile demand and protecting profit margins while serving over 40,000 stores. They struggled to cost-effectively meet high delivery expectations for less-than-truckload (LTL) quantities across the US.

Redwood Logistics implemented the MercuryGate transportation management system (TMS) and provided managed transportation services. This solution optimized routes, consolidated loads, and secured low-cost carriers. The results for Blue Dog Bakery included a lower annual transportation spend, higher service levels for its retail customers, and the data needed for intelligent, profitable decision-making. Redwood's partnership has been integral to managing the company's growth.
