Hanson Logistics Introduces Velocities™ Multi-Vendor Consolidation Program

The Hanson Logistics Velocities™ multi-vendor consolidation program continues to build momentum. Velocities™ leverages our strategic facility locations, truck fleet, technology and collaborative customer base to drive-down final mile delivery costs, optimize inventory flow and improve order fill rates.



Velocities™ Lower Cost, Continuous Replenishment
By consolidating orders and optimizing carrier capacity, Velocities benefits food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. It is a win/win cold supply chain solution. Food manufacturers and wholesalers are able to deliver smaller, higher frequency orders at a lower cost; retailers receive scheduled, mixed truckload deliveries consistent with their continuous fulfillment strategies.

How does Velocities™ work?
Participating vendors maintain stocking inventory in one of Hanson’s strategically located distribution centers. We can provide replenishment truckload transportation from your processing plant if required. Hanson combines your orders with those of multiple vendors, creating full truckload shipments for scheduled delivery to the same retail or foodservice distribution center. Velocities is supported by EDI and web-based inventory management, plus the performance-surety of company-owned trucks. Hanson schedulers work closely with manufacturers and retailers for scheduled deliveries that minimize dock congestion and assuring on-time replenishment.
