Speed is essential in a competitive market. When we introduced our 24-hour warehouse operation, we gave our clients a 12-hour advantage. We can receive their stock immediately from the port and start to prepare orders whilst others are still sleeping. Want to get a head start on your competitors? Drop us a message. Ready...

We’re getting to be pretty familiar with the FedEx offices around the country. I think the Boxes of Innovation do a lot to spruce up the monochromatic beige. Two more new large accounts are getting their first boxes this week and looking forward to being able to unbox them with the buyers. Statistically, 70% of the product in these boxes will NOT be approved by the buyers. Fortunately for the brands, we assume 100% of the expense of building and shipping the boxes, and the travel to each buyer around the country to make the live presentations. We make $0 unless the product actually makes it onto the shelf. We’re not Good Samaritans, this is just what happens when the core business model of a distributor is aligned with brands and retailers. This can’t happen in a cost plus distribution model where the anchor accounts are contracted at loss leader markups that produce negative EBITDA. Pod Foods #innovation

HELP! Calling all my smart, marketing-savvy connections.   Since Ryder acquired Whiplash, we've been getting a lot of "Wait, isn't Ryder just a truck leasing company?" from prospects and industry folks. Despite expanding our supply chain offerings to include Whiplash's expertise in e-commerce and omni-channel solutions over three years ago, we may find it tricky to shake off this old perception.   It's completely understandable why a 90+ year old true market leader in truck leasing would find it hard to shed that association, even though we already are a modern, tech-enabled, forward-thinking supply chain company.   We are still an industry leader in e-commerce and omni-channel solutions, but the name change is causing some confusion.   Any ideas on how Ryder can quickly change market perception?   Excited to hear your thoughts!

Is it frustrating you that your Production or Dispatch team seems very protective of their packing lines? Are you struggling to make headway with #continuousimprovement because of hesitation to change? It's understandable - they've got a job to do, and continuously trialling new packaging products can be an emotional drag on a time-pressured team. (When legislative deadlines change regularly too that doesn't exactly improve buy-in either!) We've had a lot of clients run into a brick wall like this when they wanted to save money and cost on their stretch film. So we have a methodology to get operational teams on-board and a product that's proven to work, regardless of the brand, age or present condition of the palletwrapper. #BridgeJohnson #Palletwrap #FoodandBeverage #FoodandBeverageIndustry #ProductionTeam #Production #Dispatch #Optimisation

Something I look forward to each month (sad I know) but it’s when the letterbox goes (and dog goes mental) and the latest edition of Logistics Manager Magazine arrives on the doorstep. It’s good to keep in touch with the industry and I quite like reading this each month. #Supplychain #Logistic #News
