Supply Chain Management for Consumer Goods

Tupperware Before Third-Party Logistics (3PL)

Tupperware is a consumer goods line that includes food preparation, storage, and serving products for the kitchen and home. The organization lacked supply chain efficiency, had difficulty shipping products from its North Carolina plant to customers in the western United States, and needed additional warehouse space to support peak season demands.

Tupperware needed to establish effective supply chain management with third-party logistics, including integration with existing systems. They required an expert implementation partner to help achieve the following business objectives:

Improve supply chain efficiency with quicker transportation and delivery, cost savings, and complete visibility
Establish seamless integration between existing applications (Oracle EBS) and the third-party logistics provider (GXO)
Increase process efficiency so that increased volume would not require additional personnel
Set up shipping, receiving, and stock management procedures for the western United States

We have finalized our first week of GO LIVE with GXO and have now 100% of the west cost states up & running!!! OUTSTANDING work from the entire TEAM involved in this project!!! BIG CONGRATS to ALL!!!"
