Real-world Optimizer success
Global Tool Manufacturer
Challenge: A leading tool manufacturer lacked systems and visibility to effectively optimize orders. They regularly routed multiple orders per day on separate shipments to the same destinations, which resulted in higher costs.
Solution: Using Navisphere Optimizer to analyze their data, C.H. Robinson identified several areas of opportunity. The company implemented Navisphere as their transportation management system (TMS), which allowed them to leverage order aggregation and multi-stop routing.
Result: They developed a thorough implementation plan focused on distribution centers with the greatest opportunity and are on their way to an annualized cost savings of 11.7%.
Leading Consumer Products Organization
Challenge: A leading consumer products manufacturer had grown through acquisition. As a result, they lacked common systems and processes to manage inbound material shipments from vendors into manufacturing and distribution sites.
Solution: The manufacturer outsourced all inbound transportation to C.H. Robinson. This saved internal resources the time and effort required to standardize inbound processes. The company implemented Navisphere as their transportation management system (TMS). Through it, suppliers scheduled and executed inbound shipments in a single location, making order aggregation, ship-date optimization, and multi-stop routing possible.
Result: The company has improved visibility and improved data accuracy for their inbound supply chain as well as saved 10.2% from inbound shipment costs. Ongoing analysis by C.H. Robinson has uncovered further optimization strategies that are expected to yield an additional 5.5% in savings.
