CUSTOM CONSOLIDATION & FULFILLMENT

When one of our clients, a discount retailer with more than 1,500 stores, was paying excessive freight charges because weekly promotional shipments were being fulfilled separately from replenishment orders, they looked to EPI for a solution.

EPI customized a comprehensive program for managing the production and distribution of in-store materials ranging from weekly POS materials to gift cards and employee handbooks. By consolidating the production and fulfillment of these items, EPI saved this client $7 million in the first year alone. Additionally, by integrating weekly store shipments into the client's distribution network rather than shipping directly to stores, EPI further reduced transportation costs, resulting in more than $17 million in combined savings.
