Redwood Optimizes Transportation for Leading Beverage Supplier
MARKET: BEVERAGE PACKAGING AND LOGISTICS
This customer provides a full range of packaging solutions, including cans, bottles, labels, and closures for wine, beer, spirits, and other beverages.

KEY TOOLS
Oracle Transportation Management (OTM)
Continuous improvement system advisory
Redwood brought deep expertise and best practices to our organization, based on hundreds of successful OTM implementations. Our OTM launch was complicated by a simultaneous supply chain transformation and an ERP go-live. But Redwood developed a clear, phased roadmap that rolled OTM out gradually across our assets, from tankers and rail to truckloads. We minimized risk, while quickly gaining cost savings and service improvements. Today Redwood is still involved in using OTM to drive continuous improvements.
