Dole Continues to Develop Sourcing Strategy

Dole Food Company, Inc. successfully completes its third domestic sourcing in which Transplace facilitates Dole’s strategic transportation services for its over-the-road North American freight network.

 

“The partnership Dole Food has with Transplace has proven to work very well and has assisted in our efforts of contracting for cost competitive, service-minded and capacity committed transportation services to move our North American over the road motor carrier freight network,” says Ulises J. Carrillo, vice president, global logistics, Dole Food. “As Dole continues to focus on the best service for our customers, the Transplace sourcing engagements have proven over the years to be an enabling solution and an important part of our strategy for success.”

 

With network optimization as the goal, Transplace aims to provide Dole Food with a systematic approach to developing a transportation sourcing strategy. The new solution considers all critical business factors and recommends strategic assignment of carriers to all of the lanes within the Dole’s North American freight network.

 

Dole Food is a producer and marketer of high-quality fresh fruit and vegetables, and is a market leader in packaged foods and frozen fruit. For several years, Dole has employed Transplace's transportation sourcing methodology, powered by CombineNet’s proprietary sourcing technology solution.
