Logistics Solutions Case Studies

Los Angeles to Philadelphia Logistics Broker

Fortune 500 Company entrusts Direct Drive Logistics for all Los Angeles, CA outbound shipments.

A Fortune 500 company pursued separate tactics for managing product distribution, resulting in a intricate network of packaging and logistics suppliers and rising freight costs. The company wanted to streamline its supply chain by doing final packaging inside the distribution centers, and shipping the same amount of product, strategically located sites in Philadelphia, PA, Atlanta, GA, and Chicago, IL.

Solution: Direct Drive Logistics manages all ground transportation, managing all packaging, order fulfillment and retail delivery requirements. The optimized network eliminated the need for 20 outside packaging companies and the back and forth freight runs to these plants. The size of the network went from 80 to 25 warehouses.
