Case Study: John Deere achieves inbound transportation cost savings with TMC
A TMC Case Study
TMC helps John Deere Reduce Transportation Costs
John Deere faced rising costs and inconsistent service after leaving most inbound transportation in the hands of its several thousand suppliers. TMC, a division of C.H. Robinson, partnered with John Deere to reconfigure the inbound network, proposing an inbound consolidation program and deployment of TMC’s Managed TMS® and optimization tools to centralize control and drive savings.
TMC implemented a command-center model with network analysis, transportation modeling, a pool-point/cross-dock approach, carrier strategy (dedicated fleets, multi-stop truckload, LTL consolidation), vendor compliance and business-intelligence metrics, and full TMS integration. The new TMC-managed inbound model put all North American inbound freight under centralized optimization, producing reduced transportation costs, improved visibility and regional density insights, increased CSR productivity, and measurable benchmarks for ongoing improvement.
