Heinz Optimizes Sourcing Solutions
H. J. Heinz Company expands its use of CombineNet's Transportation Sourcing Solutions to source its Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) spend. Since 2003, Heinz has used CombineNet's sourcing and optimization technologies in order to source multiple modes of transportation.
"CombineNet's sourcing solutions enable us to find the optimal balance of cost, service and carrier relationships by conducting large, consolidated transportation sourcing events," says Wayne Skinner, Heinz vice president of Transportation. "By expanding our use of CombineNet to include our LTL freight, we can drive additional cost savings and long term value into Heinz through a larger part of our logistics operations."
Delivered via CombineNet's Advanced Sourcing Application Platform (ASAP), CombineNet's Sourcing Solutions aim to combine strategic planning, category-specific best practices, Expressive Bidding capabilities, and optimization technologies that help to enable unlimited "what if?" scenario analysis.
