Here’s an anonymized case study of a national leading retailer highlighting their previous LTL issues, how WARP solves them, and the results after one year.

‍

Legacy LTL Problems:

• Inconsistent Arrival Times - Carriers handle individual pickups, leading to delays and varied transits. Products arrive at the FC at different times, disrupting order fulfillment.
• Damaged Freight - Freight damage occurs as carriers move goods through the network, often involving cross-docking and stacking of freight.
• Lost Freight - Due to a lack of visibility and scan events throughout LTL delivery and terminal networks.
• High Internal Costs and Resource Drain From Returns - Inefficient handling of returns through LTL results in missed pickups, lost freight, and processing delays.

‍‍

WARP’s Solutions:

• Reliable and Timely Delivery - We improve efficiency through dynamic linehaul optimization, reducing delays and ensuring consistent arrival times.
• Secure Shipments - We reduce cross-docking and do not stack freight, minimizing the risk of damage during transit.
• High Visibility - We provide enhanced tracking with real-time status updates and ETAs, reducing the chances of lost freight.
• Optimized Returns Management - We optimize returns handling with better network optimization, variable costs for cross-dock sortation, and 3rd party transportation.

‍

WARP’s Solution Process:

1. Optimized Local Consolidation - We delivered using multiple vehicle types to facilitate tasks traditionally done by LTL pick-ups. Pick-up from various vendors and stores using various vehicles: SUVs, Pickup Trucks, Vans, Sedans, and Box Trucks.
2. Partial Shipments are Consolidated into Cross-Country FTL Delivery Lowering the Cost - We consolidated and built a FTL at WARP Cross-Dock which then delivered cross-country ensuring a guaranteed delivery time.
3. FTL then goes through Deconsolidation for Store Delivery - We were able to right-size capacity with multiple vehicle sizes for optimal local deliveries.

Our client’s results after 1 year with WARP:

• Transportation Cost Savings - 20-30% of LTL spent and 2-3 days time in transit reduction on cross-country LTL.
• Admin Cost Savings - Around $60,000 a year back office costs cut and 1 FTE removed.‍
• Fulfillment Cost Savings - Around $25,000 per year costs cut and multiple labor shifts avoided at receiver and stores.
