CASE STUDY
Redwood Forges Freight Savings for Steel and Pipe Supply
MARKET: STEEL MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING
Steel and Pipe Supply is a privately held carbon steel distributor with extensive value-added processing and logistics capabilities. Steel and Pipe Supply has been a dedicated partner to its customers for over 80 years, offering deep inventories of carbon steel products in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and grades. Its value-added processing ensures customers can access the custom products they need.
THE CHALLENGES

- Manual processes and institutional knowledge
- Limited digital infrastructure
- Need for modern transportation management
THE SOLUTION
-
In just four months, Redwood installed Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) Cloud to automate many processes, enable connectivity with partners, and drive fact-based decision making. This powerful solution enabled carrier connectivity via EDI using RedwoodConnect™ integration platform.
