With over $7 billion in annual revenue, our client is a worldwide leader in providing highly engineered components, specialty systems, and support services for a variety of industries ranging from fluid management to electronic systems. In order to be more competitive, the client sought to reduce cost of goods sold through operational improvements and strategic sourcing of materials and services.
Facing cost pressures from competitors and investors, client requested Gibson Consulting to fully unify their transportation requirements across a decentralized organization and leverage over $250 million in spend across five modes.
The Gibson team gathered and analyzed the client’s shipment and service requirement and potential cost savings for over 270 shipping locations.
To achieve total cost savings, Gibson Consulting implemented a global Strategic Sourcing project targeting the client’s $250+ millions of transportation spend across Air, Ocean LCL, Ocean FCL, International Parcel, Truckload, and Less-than-Truckload.
Cost savings were achieved by reducing the client’s supply base and significantly improving alliance management.
