The new program marks Cole’s initiative in outsourcing transportation and related supply chain activities. Under the new contract, Hanson Logistics will manage a customized transportation program for procurement, optimization, visibility, and compliance. The program takes advantage of Hanson transportation capacity and distribution facilities, while leveraging Hanson consolidation program and information systems.
“Hanson has much greater access to carrier capacity and can give us better visibility across the supply chain,” said John Sommavilla, President, Cole’s Quality Foods, Inc. “Day-to-day, they interface with our customer service to build optimum loads, while managing both inbound and outbound. Long-term, they are mapping out the most responsive and cost-effective fulfillment process. This allows us to focus on our core competency, as a leading brand in bread and bakery products.”
The new Cole's program exemplifies how mid-sized consumer product companies can cost effectively meet the sophisticated order deliver criteria of major retailers through strategic inventory placement and multi-vendor consolidation, such as Hanson’s Velocities™ program.
“We’re very pleased that Cole’s has selected our team for this program,” said Gregory Hanson, President, Hanson Logistics. “Our expertise and critical mass adds value through the supply chain; our team’s ‘Yes, We Can!’ attitude makes it happen. We look forward to delivering success to the Cole's brand.”
