A major international retailer had a last-minute requirement to ship high visibility displays to Australia for the holidays. Shipped in three phases, WF worked with freight network partners, arranged for same day pickup and sourced each international shipment to ensure all three shipments arrived in time for setup at a major mall in Australia.
A North American manufacturer required the complete relocation of their plant to Asia. WF successfully coordinated the entire custom freight process, when several other freight companies backed out due to the complexity of the project and stringent time constraints. WF developed the entire transportation program, including complete disassembly of all the equipment, packing, crating, and shipping of 11 ocean freight containers.
An equipment distributer contracted WF to handle the delivery of a new high-value furnace and pump to their client’s manufacturing plant. Due to size constraints, the new unassembled equipment had to be delivered through the roof of the plant. The successful delivery and minimal disruptions to plant operations met the needs of both the furnace manufacturer and their client.
A World Class manufacturer and distributor of metal products was facing a complete assembly line shut-down due to supply chain disruptions. Treated metal material in the Midwest needed to arrive next day to an East Coast metal finishing facility where the product would be finished and then shipped same day to the manufacturer’s facility. WF sourced the shipment of all materials and products, including the charter-flight of the final phase, avoiding possible delays and stoppage of the critical production line.
WF developed a comprehensive supply chain transportation program for a manufacturer and distributor of high value store fixtures and material from various suppliers across the US. The time-sensitive deliveries required specialized packaging and LTL freight coordination to transport the varying size and shapes of fixtures. WF’s program reduced supply chain costs and enabled the client to increase revenues.
A major international manufacturer scheduled a marketing event at 400 locations across the country. WF developed a customized transportation management plan that ensured delivery within three days of shipping. Expedited shipping was reserved for long distance shipments while cargo destined for closer locations was shipped via a ground network, optimizing the cost structure and maximizing value.
A major international manufacturer needed 3,500 shipments of marketing materials sent to a major retailer’s entire chain of U.S. stores. WF was responsible for the tracking and staging of over 50 incoming container and rail shipments, managing numerous last-minute changes to shipment configurations and delivery locations. WF’s freight network covered all of the loads and achieved an on-time delivery without loss or damage.
WF developed a comprehensive national distribution program for a domestic manufacturer. The automated program was integrated with the manufacturer’s in-house IT system providing real-time access to carrier data, bill of lading, and transportation costs. The new program improved the accuracy of shipping quotes, and resulted in double digit savings on transportation.
