This leading CPG manufacturer is a household name and a premiere manufacturer of household products. The company’s logistics and warehouse operations teams were held back by a manual inbound process defined by unadopted technology, phone calls, emails, spreadsheets. This resulted not only in lack of visibility int o daily schedule, order status and historical performance but also in longer gate-to-gate times, suboptimal staffing levels and labor costs across receiving and materials planning teams. 

Hear Bryan Zimmer, Warehouse Logistics Leader at a top CPG manufacturer, on how they combined innovative technology with process changes to:

  • Automate a manual and error-prone scheduling process to 98%+ carrier adoption
  • Get accurate visibility into inbound loads and order status
  • Improve warehouse efficiency and switch from 24x7 to 6-to-6 model, eliminating third shift
  • Reduce detention charges with accurate shipment audit history    
  • Reduce labor costs by 30% by implementing daily staffing adjustments
