Case Study: a global CPG company improves visibility and cuts transportation costs with Transplace

Centralized transportation management leads to supply chain transformation for Global CPG Company

A global consumer packaged goods company faced challenges with its decentralized logistics operations, which led to poor delivery performance, a lack of visibility, and difficulty controlling transportation costs. Seeking systemic change, the company engaged the vendor Transplace to outsource its North American and international export freight transportation management.

Transplace implemented its proprietary Transportation Management System and established control tower capabilities to centralize all shipment planning and execution. This solution provided the company with enhanced visibility and drove significant routing guide compliance. The results included an ROI of greater than 100% in the first year from using lower-cost carriers, substantial spot market savings, and marked improvements in service performance and operational control across its entire supply chain.
