Case Study: MGP achieves supply chain efficiency and cost reduction with Ruan Integrated Solutions

MGP - Customer Case Study

Ruan, a third-party logistics provider with more than eight decades of transportation management experience, was engaged by MGP to manage a complex, high‑volume food and beverage supply chain. The challenge included coordinating nationwide deliveries from Kansas, Missouri and Indiana, handling 8,500+ annual loads across modes (bulk tanker, dry van, LTL, intermodal), managing hazmat and washout requirements, integrating with the client’s SAP systems, and delivering cost, safety and service improvements.

Ruan delivered an integrated solution—two on‑site logistics specialists managing 15 core carriers, 24/7 customer support, mode selection and load management, a dedicated Kansas fleet, SAP IDoc-based order integration, hazmat endorsement management and carrier rate optimization. These actions streamlined operations, improved safety and compliance, reduced transportation costs, and provided reliable end‑to‑end visibility and service for the client.
