What if you could build a pipeline to your customers that allowed your products to flow faster and more cost effectively to them? What if the pipeline also made it easy to increase service levels and decrease supply chain costs? What if you didn’t need to build the pipeline- what if it already existed? ES3’s collaborative distribution model provides that pipeline: unbeatable service, directly to your customers, at a low price.
For the past decade, ES3 has been running a collaborative facility in the Northeast that improves service and reduces cost by eliminating waste. Demand is managed by retailers, who pull product from forward-deployed inventory, straight from manufacturers’ inventories housed at ES3. Through this model, product flows off factory lines to ES3’s collaborative warehouse where it is stored, or cross-docked, and is shipped directly to retailers’ distribution centers or store backrooms.
This model has proven to reduce both manufacturer and retailers’ costs by 30%. In an industry where profits are counted in pennies on a case, the savings are staggering. These savings make significant improvements in a wider range of areas, from reduced emissions to greater flexibility. Wouldn’t it be nice to save money and time, all while reducing your impact on the environment? ES3 can help you do that.
Our manufacturers have seen improvements in key metrics across the board, including better forecast alignment, lower damage rates, higher on-shelf-availability, and greater flexibility and resiliency. These improvements have not come about by chance; rather they are a byproduct of careful management and execution by the ES3 team. ES3 has the invaluable experience of running a successful, collaborative distribution network for the past 12 years. We know how to improve what really matters to you.
