Challenge: A US Sporting Goods Retailer improved its supply chain by utilizing software to automate the procurement process, from determining risks associated with each vendor before a PO was created to the time the shipment arrived at the US port.

Challenge: Our client, a retail chain with over 70 stores, needed to improve the accuracy of its paper-based order picking operations and improve their picking error rate at their distribution center. Their research of technologies led them to Voice based picking solutions. From there they evaluated three vendors' voice based picking solutions via three week pilot programs with each solution and compiled the productivity and accuracy statistics.

Challenge: As our client, a world-renowned beverage company, took on more suppliers and their specific packaging requests, it became imperative that the company optimize its sourcing patterns.

Challenge: Our client is a Fortune 500 company that serves as the world's largest supplier of pumps and systems. With over 40,000 employees in 60 countries, the $10. 9 billion company ships their products worldwide to customers. All company locations had their own decision making ability to choose their own transportation provider. In 2009, there were over 400 freight forwarders used worldwide for ocean and air shipments.

Challenge: Our retail client has been operating their logistics network with 5 distribution centers (DC) across the country to support their stores: one main, centralized DC and 4 regional DCs (RDC). Due to the disparity of the warehouse management solutions (WMS) used by all the DCs, there was no real time visibility across the network to manage inventory and outbound orders. Because their operations were centralized at the main DC, they incurred unnecessary transportation and labor costs.

Challenge: Uncertain markets and increased demand volatility have made demand planning difficult for consumer products companies. At the same time, prices of raw materials and fuel have increased making the cost of producing and shipping goods even higher.

Challenge: The second largest distributor of wine and spirits in the US, our client operates in a tightly regulated industry with outdated business processes and systems, and was challenged by a lack of visibility to inbound orders from its global vendors and suppliers.
