Retailer Achieves $403M in Net Gain Since 2012 with Green Mountain

One of the US’s largest traditional big box retailers has leveraged Green Mountain’s Parcel Spend Management (PSM) solution for over a decade. This engagement is illustrative of what sets our PSM offering apart from the traditional auditor.

Rather than generate a one-time savings, we deliver consistent value for our customers which compounds over time — represented here in a net gain of $403M and a velocity gain of approximately 1,300 total deliverables.

The retailer's network infrastructure is especially complex with:

The company leverages multiple carriers, varying ship-from-store strategies, and a large drop-ship vendor network. Industry and strategy expertise were front-of-mind for this customer when choosing the right partner to help grow their business.

One of the key challenges included a contract with a primary carrier. It includes a stipulation giving the carrier the first choice of predicted volume for the year. This requirement impeded the shipper’s flexibility to share volume with secondary carriers. Additionally, alternate and regional carriers must be managed for any volume refused by the primary carrier pending its approval.
