    MARKET: CONSUMER GOODS

    This American consumer goods company offers a wide range of lighting and energy storage products, including popular and well-known brands. Its global supply chain includes operations in more than 40 locations, and it distributes products in more than 140 countries.

    THE CHALLENGES

    • Outdated TMS and need for a scalable platform to support global distribution and future growth

    THE SOLUTION

    -

    Backed by its expertise in logistics management and advanced technology, Redwood recommended and implemented a new transportation management platform, Oracle Transportation Management (OTM), in just five months. The new solution allows the company to understand and minimize costs, maximize service levels, and automate processes and decisions across its global logistics network. Redwood customized the system, including configuring an ability for the customer to “rate shop” among various carriers to minimize its overall freight spend.
