Velocities Multi-Vendor Consolidation

January 1, 2008
No Comments

Mid-market food manufacturers in the cold supply chain find themselves squeezed by the all-too-frequent challenge of shipping pallet-sized orders without losing margins to LTL charges. Now, Hanson Logistics is offering a solution that gives all manufacturers access to a collaborative, cost-effective distribution system. Velocities Multi-Vendor Consolidation (MVC) is the core service of the new Hanson Logistics Chicago Consolidation Center. Velocities MVC is a scheduled delivery system reaching major retail and food-service DCs from Hobart, Ind. This location, east of the congested Chicago area, affords easy in/easy out service to greater Chicagoland and provides a forward-inventory site for service to two-thirds of the United States. Through Velocities, manufacturers benefit from shared truckload delivery while retailers gain the same fulfillment assurance across all vendors. Velocities' Web-based order and event management technology additionally offers a common platform for all trading partners.

Users filling pallet-sized orders can now share the delivery cost with other manufacturers and still have the benefit of fixed pricing. For an average manufacturer, Velocities offers a transportation savings of approximately 30 percent compared to go-it-alone LTL. In addition, Hanson Transportation Management Service, the managing department behind Velocities' operations, works closely with the client's procurement and logistics personnel to engineer a robust solution that leverages backhauls and continuous moves for even greater savings.

I don’t know if it’s because of our Two Minute Warnings, or the fact that shippers are experiencing the conditions we warned about in our Code Red webcasts, but lately, I’ve heard the same message from several C-Level and supply chain executives: Their companies are experiencing supply chain challenges and their...
