Operational Impact
The partnership between CHEP and Convoy resulted in a more efficient and sustainable supply chain. Convoy's solutions helped CHEP balance its pallet relocation, eliminate empty miles, and lower transportation costs. The feedback from carriers provided by Convoy also identified opportunities to improve the efficiency of CHEP facilities. This not only addressed the challenge of empty miles but also contributed to CHEP's mission of eliminating physical waste and driving out other inefficiencies in the supply chain. The use of Convoy's batching program and drop trailer program also increased fluidity and built a virtual dedicated fleet servicing CHEP's freight. This partnership has therefore resulted in a more sustainable and efficient supply chain for CHEP. | |
