Our client was a mid-market manufacturing company with approximately $80M in annual revenue  Our focus for savings was in reducing the costs of their carrier shipping services.

We created these savings in a 3 ways:

1. We saved them 20% on their LTL and FTL pricing by consolidating all of their existing contracts together from multiple locations into a single contract with a lower rate. We did this for FedEx, UPS and USPS
   
   
   
2. We analyzed their shipping needs optimized their shipping channels (FTL, LTL, Parcel, Train)
   • Significant cost savings were generated by moving lower priority packages from shipping with UPS to USPS
   • Select shipments were moved from road to train which is becoming an increasingly cost effective way to ship packages
     
     
     
3. We identified that slowing shipping down by 1 day would not impact the customer's business operations, but would reduce the overall shipping expenses by 10%

In total this created a $450,000 annual cost reduction for the company's carrier shipping contracts.
