Velocities™ Multi-Vendor Consolidation Program (MVC)

Serving major retailers (including Walmart), wholesalers and foodservice distributors.

Velocities™ MVC is a win/win cold supply chain fulfillment program. Food manufacturers share truckload savings when shipping smaller, higher frequency orders; retailers receive scheduled, consolidated truckload deliveries consistent with their continuous fulfillment strategies.

Velocities™ MVC is the core service of the Hanson Chicago Consolidation Center, our 14,500,000 cu. ft. temperature-controlled facility located just easy of Chicago at the crossroads of I-80/94 and I-65.

How does Velocities™ MVC work?
Hanson builds your orders from inbound and forward inventory at the Hanson Chicago Consolidation Center, then combines your shipments with those of other vendors to create a more efficient truckload for scheduled delivery to the same retailer. Value added services, such as mixing and specific pallet configurations are available. Velocities™ improves your fulfillment strategy and streamlines your cold supply chain process while reducing or eliminating higher cost LTL shipments.
