Operational Impact
The partnership with Convoy and the implementation of the Convoy Go program allowed The Home Depot to manage the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic effectively. The new transportation strategy helped the company deal with difficult-to-handle freight and keep its network fluid. The use of Convoy Go also solved the problem of requiring carriers to commit their trailers, making it easier for small carriers to work with The Home Depot. This innovative approach to supply chain management, combined with the company's commitment to technology experimentation, has made innovation a part of The Home Depot's supply chain DNA. This has not only helped the company navigate the challenges of the pandemic but also positioned it for future growth and success. | |
