Case Study: Global Fast Moving Consumer Goods Company reduces supply chain costs with Toll Group

Global Fast Moving Consumer Goods Company - Customer Case Study

Global Fast Moving Consumer Goods Company, a global FMCG business supplying supermarkets and retailers across Australia, was reviewing its supply chains ahead of a major contract review. It engaged Toll Group, using its supply chain consultancy expertise, to identify operational issues and uncover opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Toll Group performed detailed quantitative analysis of shipment data, delivery locations, freight consolidation options, and lane changes to recommend planning and loading improvements. The work identified an average 20% difference in cost per kilogram between deliveries to the two major grocery retailers, plus potential savings of 2.5% through improved ordering patterns and single FTL consignments per day, and 7% through consolidating freight across consecutive days for the same destination.
