CHALLENGE

Manage the deployment of 5 different Samsung End Cap Displays going to Sam’s Club and Costco stores throughout the USA including locations in Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii. Orchestrate the delivery of all the displays to meet up with the installation teams.

SOLUTION

The preliminary estimate to deliver the 5 unique displays to the 1,416 locations was more than a million dollars. Following an in depth analysis by Run Retail it was determined that we could significantly reduce the transit cost by contracting with 3 strategic carriers and utilizing a combination of full trailers, zone skipping techniques and deck bar loading to increase the freight yield (pallets per truck) by 255%.

RESULT

The result was a savings of over 75% compared to the original estimate. All shipments arrived as scheduled.
