    CASE STUDY Redwood Helps a Mexico-Based Multinational 3PL Reduce Execution Time by 40% in Their Cloud Evolution

    MARKET: THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS

    This Mexico based International third-party logistics provider (3PL) distributes foods, beverages, and apparel for some of the world’s biggest retailers and consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers. Its busy supply chain spans seven countries, over 100 distribution centers, a fleet of 8,000 vehicles and more 18,000 employees.

    THE CHALLENGES

    • 3PL supply chain that outgrew its on-prem OTM system
    • Need for a scalable solution to onboard customers faster, integrate with digital systems, and automate internal processes
    • Need for real-time visibility and the ability to replan quickly during disruptions

    THE SOLUTION

    .

    Redwood led a fast upgrade of OTM to a cloud delivery model, based on Redwood’s proprietary RapidOTM implementation template. 

    .

    As a longtime member of Oracle Partner Network, Redwood expertly activated key features and functionality of OTM. For example, Quick Events provides real-time visibility of vehicles and drivers, while Real-Time Dispatch seamlessly brings together order entry, transportation planning and execution. Multileg capabilities automatically select the best routing and equipment to optimize service, cost and sustainability by minimizing road miles and maximizing round trips.

    KEY TOOLS

    Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) Cloud migration

    To support our growth, we needed a lean, standardized transportation management platform that could connect to our internal systems, our customers' digital solutions, and our drivers and vehicles in the field. By upgrading our existing OTM solution, Redwood gave us the real-time visibility and dynamic capabilities we need to keep up with increasing customer demands and order volumes—as well as onboard new customers quickly.
