SUPPLY CHAIN
“ The goal of this project has been to leverage the tools and resources of our 4PL to reduce empty miles and other waste , while maintaining or improving the delivery experience for our customers . Historically our shipping sites have worked hard to maximize truckloads and avoid empty backhauls , but visibility to those opportunities was limited . This year we have been excited to see routes which connect multiple shipping locations on the same equipment with less empty miles . Such network connectivity has not been possible before and the outsourcing to our 4PL has been a great success .”
