Overcoming Logistical Hurdles to Achieve Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency
A leading flooring solutions provider specializing in ceramic and porcelain tiles faced significant supply chain challenges. With a rapidly expanding distribution network and heavy reliance on a single carrier, costs were rising, service was inconsistent, and shipment visibility was limited. BlueGrace partnered closely with the provider to transform their logistics strategy.
Key Challenges:
- Carrier Over-Reliance: Dependence on a single carrier for LTL and small parcel shipments resulted in high costs and limited flexibility.
- Lack of Visibility and Control: Inefficient tracking and limited shipment insight reduced operational efficiency.
- High Damage and Loss Rates: Frequent damages and losses without a structured claims resolution process.
- Absence of Dedicated Operations: No specialized team to manage daily logistics challenges, leading to inconsistent performance.
- No Continuous Improvement: Lack of a structured optimization strategy resulted in missed efficiency opportunities.
