National Sports Retailer
Improved Inbound Consolidation
A major sports retailer struggled with an optimization software that was not fully understood by their team after the original consultant left. They were left managing the software without clear guidance, making it difficult to implement necessary improvements.
A custom optimization program was created to fit their specific requirements, including a model that handles small parcel, LTL, single-stop TLs, multi-stop TLs, and pool points. The system features a feedback loop to manage inbound shipments from multiple locations effectively.
The retailer has achieved $412,000 in savings over the past year. The new plan has been consistently followed, with deviations managed and adjusted based on valid reasons to avoid future issues. This continuous improvement process aims to refine the load plan to its optimal state.

Packaging Company
Enhanced Load Planning
Before optimization software, the company struggled with inefficient delivery orders as they were not consolidating shipments. The team needed to find strategies to better manage their dynamic environment and improve operational efficiency.
A new plan was implemented to adjust shipment patterns, ensuring that deliveries to rigid consignees were not mixed with other customers’ shipments. By optimizing loads twice daily with over 400 parameter settings, the company achieved greater flexibility and efficiency.
This packaging company now saves between $10,000 and $50,000 each month, totaling approximately $320,000 annually based on 2023 data.
