Challenge

  • Rapidly shifting consumer buying patterns: faced unprecedented supply chain disruption during the onset of COVID-19 and sudden surges in large orders.
  • Fluctuating demand: for specific products and regional differences across 347 stores in 23 states.
  • Needed to adapt quickly: to changes in delivery schedules, order sizes, and distribution center capacity constraints.

Solution

  • Implemented Infios Transportation Management (TM) and Multimodal Optimization to: dynamically adjust shipping points and relieve overtaxed distribution centers.
  • Flexibility: ability to modify store delivery windows and order schedules as regulations changed.
  • Optimization: run multiple scenarios to efficiently allocate truck capacity and adapt to evolving constraints.

“When truck capacity became tight, running multiple optimization scenarios would help us determine what was needed to get all the orders delivered.”
