RXO, provider of asset-light transportation solutions, won the 2024 Top Supply Chain Projects Award from Supply & Demand Chain Executive. The award, which profiles innovative projects, highlights organizations that automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain.
RXO won the award for a pool-point solution it developed for a retail customer. After years of working with traditional LTL providers to line-haul palletized products to cluster pool points or directly to its stores, the customer struggled to comply with specific delivery requirements and achieve on-time deliveries.
The customer turned to RXO, which developed a unique solution that leveraged a centralized control tower, consolidated cluster pool points and communications directly with retail stores. As a result, the customer reduced delivery times by 30 minutes per stop, improved its on-time delivery rate to 99.8%, and saved approximately $1.3 million in labor cost.
“The Top Supply Chain Projects award is a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of innovation and our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to streamline supply chains for our customers,” said Brian Dean, president of the managed transportation business at RXO. “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s an honor to be recognized for our work to create a best-in-class experience for them.”
The Top Supply Chain Projects award is given annually to industry leaders in the global supply chain covering procurement, transportation, warehousing, education, software and technology. The winners are chosen by the Food Logistics and Supply and Demand Chain executive staff.
“The past 12 months has seen companies within the supply chain and logistics space upgrade, enhance, adopt and adapt in order to achieve greater efficiency along the chain. Companies implemented others’ software and technology to work smarter, together.
Their partnerships cultivated resilience and placed a spotlight on projects designed to make the supply chain space safer and more efficient,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “And, now it’s time to celebrate those projects!”
