Case Study: Nestlé Waters improves hurricane response and avoids premium capacity costs with Transplace Control Tower

Transplace Control Tower Helps Nestlé Waters Mitigate Hurricane Impact

Nestlé Waters, a global manufacturer and distributor of bottled water, faced significant challenges in proactively managing its supply chain during disruptions like hurricanes. Its reliance on manual processes left transportation managers with outdated reports, forcing the company to react to problems and pay high premiums for last-minute capacity. To gain real-time visibility, Nestlé Waters partnered with vendor Transplace to implement its Control Tower solution.

The Transplace Control Tower provided a central, real-time view of all shipments, allowing both companies to collaboratively monitor the entire network. This enabled Nestlé to proactively identify and resolve issues, such as moving capacity from other regions to avoid high spot-market rates. The solution saved key personnel significant time previously spent on manual reporting, ensured on-time deliveries, and provided enhanced visibility and communication for end-customers.
