Operational Impact
The transformation of Waiākea’s supply chain strategy has resulted in significant operational improvements. The company has been able to maintain its CarbonNeutral certification while increasing efficiency in its network. This has led to reduced costs, transit times, and carbon emissions, all while fulfilling just-in-time orders to local distributors who carry very little inventory. The company has also been able to manage seasonal volatility effectively, with Convoy helping Waiākea understand when and where trucking capacity is tightening as the summer progresses. The company still has a goal of moving to 100% full truckload transportation in its linehaul network, which will further enhance its operational efficiency. | |
