Mini Logistics Case Study: National Pet Brand

Our mini case studies provide a quick snapshot of how we've helped clients optimize and manage their supply chain and logistics services.

Our logistics client

A national pet food brand that curates natural pet food options for dogs and cats.

Logistics challenges

Our client had several challenges delivering to retail stores:

• Unreliable, late, and inaccurate deliveries
• Fines from big-box retail customers
• Lack of technology and integration

Logistics goals

Our client needed to reduce costs while improving and integrating their technology.

Logistics solution and results

GEODIS contracted with carriers that have deep experience with retailers. These carriers helped our client to meet the unique challenges of delivering to grocery warehouses.

We achieved a 12% cost saving for our client through several successful transportation management (TM) initiatives.

• Introducing an end-to-end, managed transportation solution
• Standardizing our client's less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier pool
• Providing stronger control over truckload lanes and networks
• Offering best-in-class transportation visibility and reporting

This also resulted in improved service levels, reduced fines, and allowing our client to focus on growing their rapidly expanding business.
