Case Study: a consumer packaged goods company achieves 14% lower costs and reliable peak-season capacity with Transfix

CPG Giant Turns to Transfix for Guaranteed, Primary Capacity During Peak Holiday Season

A major consumer packaged goods company faced the significant challenge of securing guaranteed freight capacity and reliable rates during the volatile peak holiday season, an issue exacerbated by pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. The company turned to the vendor, Transfix, to move beyond the costly and time-consuming spot market and gain access to dedicated carriers.

Transfix implemented a solution using its data science tools to analyze the client's network, identifying critical lanes for support and sourcing high-quality carriers. They converted over 600 spot shipments to primary contract drop-drop lanes. This strategy yielded substantial results, including a 14% decrease in average cost per load and a savings of two hours per load, totaling over 1,200 hours. Transfix provided the reliable capacity and improved forecasting the client needed during the peak season.
