Business Scenario

A leading personal health and wellness product manufacturer faced mounting logistics costs in its UK distribution operations, with freight costs touching 2.6% of net sales, almost double the industry average. These inefficiencies, driven by fragmented operations, reactive tracking, and sub-optimal planning processes, hampered the company’s ability to manage growing cost pressures and rising service expectations. This became critical as the company sought to improve supply chain efficiency and gain better visibility into operational drivers.
