SINGLE-SOURCE SOLUTION YIELDS MILLIONS IN COST SAVINGS
CHALLENGE:
Every day, vast quantities of raw materials and packing components arrive into our client’s plants. Due to the volume and complexity of the freight, and limited staff to manage their inbound supply chain, the company had no visibility to its product arrival. As a result, they were experiencing late deliveries, increased transit times, wasted labor, and increased costs.
SOLUTION:
The company chose Langham to control part of their inbound North American supply chain. The program was initially rolled out with some key vendors, then new vendors added each month. Eventually, the program was integrated with 145 other facilities and over 400 suppliers.
RESULTS:
Today, the company has unparalleled visibility to all levels of their supply chain. As a result, they have benefited from: Substantial year-over-year direct dollar cost savings ($6.5 million to date), dramatic expedite freight spend reduction ($1.3 million to date), and improved on-time delivery (99.98%)
