CASE STUDY Supporting a Healthy Outlook for Hollister's Global Logistics

MARKET: HEALTHCARE

Hollister Incorporated is an independent, employee-owned healthcare company that develops, manufactures, and markets healthcare products and services globally. Based in Libertyville, Illinois, and founded in 1921, Hollister has operations on three continents and sells its ostomy care, continence care, wound care, and critical care products in nearly 80 countries.

THE CHALLENGES

  • Manual data tracking and lack of transportation management system
  • Limited logistics efficiency and global supply chain visibility

THE SOLUTION

-

Based on Hollister’s unique needs, Redwood implemented the Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) solution, leveraging Redwood’s dedicated OTM experts and the experience it’s gained as an Oracle Gold Partner.

-

Redwood leveraged RedwoodConnect to provide an additional layer of integration with project44 and other systems, driving enhanced visibility and connectivity. Redwood also provides full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight services that help Hollister manage its outbound transportation in-house. Redwood’s combination of supply chain orchestration and logistics execution capabilities set it apart during the vendor selection process.
