A personal care products
manufacturer was writing
off $1.5 million annually
due to lack of visibility into
raw materials consumption.
By leveraging just-in-time
replenishment and a single
system to manage all
phases of production and
distribution, the company
achieved higher line
up-time, end-to-end
inventory visibility and a
stronger bottom line.
A global cosmetics
manufacturer dramatically
lowered IT infrastructure
costs after consolidating
supply chain systems. And
by alleviating country-specific
compliance challenges, the
company accelerated
expansion into new global
markets.

Gain flexibility to handle
traditional full pallet

opening up new customer
service opportunities.

Maximize trailer cube
through shipment
consolidation and comply
with your customer’s
shipping and labeling
requirements, reducing
transportation spend and
chargebacks.
A beverage manufacturer
aligns production with
distribution to streamline
order fulfillment. Trailer
arrival in the yard initiates
the process. Finished goods
are allocated straight from
the production line,
facilitating a fluid
just-in-time loading process.
With a yard-driven
shipment planning process,
one of the world’s leading
flooring manufacturers
leverages its TMS system
to gain visibility into trailer
inventory at the facility.
This visibility allows better
resource planning
decisions, lowering overall
transportation spend and
transit times.
