Challenges

The client’s supply chain network setting was very complex with 30+ distribution centers and 10,000+ store locations. Its suppliers had to negotiate a complex network of routes to reach their destination, making it difficult to gain efficiency and mitigate rising freight costs without the help of Machine Learning.

Solutions

ElectrifAi’s supply chain optimization product recommended the best routes with the right SKUs for the assigned shipment destinations. The product introduced new modes (optimal-sized logistic centers) to the existing supply chain to rebalance the network and reduce costs when the demand was high, and the shipping distance was long.
