GTM Case Study: How a Fortune 500 CPG Company Saved $12M by Reexamining Its Ocean Spending
“The implementation of the system came in under budget by about $100,000, and the application quickly became the gift that kept on giving.”
December 14, 2010
When transportation and commodity costs rise like they did from 2006 through 2008, many companies examine their logistics spending to look for ways to save money. Should they switch carriers? Should they find alternative sources closer to home? Are carriers actually charging the agreed-upon rates?
But when these same costs fall, there’s temptation to relax these cost savings efforts. Companies incorrectly assume that because transportation costs are so low, it’s not worth their time to examine rates and compliance, thinking the savings won’t justify the effort. But this couldn’t be more wrong.
Written by AMR Research, this case study describes how the company blew away expectations for the project, achieving its five-year goals in less than a year.
