Penske Logistics helps deliver freshness to growing convenience store chain

May 14, 2013

Solution: Penske Logistics implemented a dedicated contract carriage solution using the latest supply chain technology. Order information now flows to Penske via EDI into its logistics management system where it is assembled by route and generates a store-specific manifest.

Results: On-time delivery and fresh food replenishment has improved significantly along with customer satisfaction. Consolidation of vendor deliveries has created cost-reducing economies of scale. Store operation processes are now simplified with fewer deliveries made and remaining deliveries are scheduled on a more opportune basis.

About the Solution Provider: Penske Logistics engineers supply chain and logistics solutions that deliver powerful business results for market-leading companies. With offices in North America, South America, Europe and Asia, Penske can help meet your business needs by boosting efficiency and driving down costs in your supply chain.
