The Client
Our client is a Texas-based bottler of premium artesian water, renowned for its purity and quality. They distribute their products to dozens of states through thousands of retail locations, catering to a growing demand for high-quality bottled still water. As their business expanded, so did their need for a robust and reliable logistics partner capable of managing the complexities of large-scale distribution.
The Consignment
The primary consignment consists of cases of artesian bottled still water. These cases need to be handled with care to maintain the product's integrity and ensure they arrive at their destinations in pristine condition, ready for consumer purchase.
The Challenges
With the expansion into a major Southern grocer's distribution network, our client encountered several challenges:
Increased Production and Distribution Needs: The client's production needed to scale up rapidly to meet the demand from the new distribution channels. This increase in production also necessitated a more efficient method of delivering products.
Flexibility in Transportation: The client required a transportation carrier that could handle the dense nature of their goods and manage the strict scheduling demands of grocery distribution centers.
Product Integrity and Timeliness: Given the premium nature of the water, it was crucial to ensure that the products were delivered on time and in perfect condition. This required careful handling to prevent any damage during transit.
