Case Studies
Saving on costs without severing relationships
JDI Logistics met with a fourth-generation dry food maker in New Brunswick, Canada that preserves traditional varieties of food. Most of its business is with Ontario, Quebec and the US Midwest, but they also have international demand.
The rates from the company’s established carrier base had been increasing gradually for years. JDI Logistics was asked to determine if the existing rate structure was competitive and whether their current carrier base was meeting their business needs.
In less than three months of data collection and analysis, JDI Logistics offered the company three different detailed solution strategies, outlining the changes required, potential costs and gains, and pros and cons.
After implementation of only one strategy, the company achieved 4.5% savings on all North America lanes. Plus they preserved their established relationships with their existing carriers while securing a beneficial long term rate-hold agreement.
