Redwood, a leading Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) provider in North America, has unveiled successful outcomes from its partnership with IEWC, a global wire and cable products distributor. IEWC’s commitment to optimizing transportation management led to the collaboration with Redwood, chosen for its expertise in integrating Transportation Management System (TMS) with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) technology.
Facing flexibility challenges, IEWC sought a TMS solution, specifically looking for an experienced TMS integrator with Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) proficiency. Redwood stood out, offering a seamlessly integrated solution that harmonizes existing systems and processes, showcasing their flexibility and expertise.
Gregg Mollen, Senior Global Logistics Manager at IEWC, emphasized the impact of the collaboration, stating, “Our partnership with Redwood has elevated our transport management operations, ensuring optimal flexibility and visibility across all locations. This has enhanced our ability to address diverse customer requirements efficiently.”
Redwood’s approach involves comprehensive assessment and implementation using RedwoodConnect™, OTM, and advanced freight management practices. The structured integration has resulted in optimized carrier utilization, reduced costs, and increased effectiveness, particularly in Less than Truckload (LTL) shipments.
Eric Rempel, Chief Innovation Officer at Redwood, highlighted the significance of technology integration, saying, “Our collaboration with IEWC showcases the power of integrating cutting-edge technology into supply chain operations, transforming traditional logistics solutions. This step forward emphasizes the importance of innovation for streamlined operations, cost efficiencies, and improved customer service.”
IEWC has experienced substantial savings, strengthened carrier relationships, and ensured accuracy in freight audit and payment. RedwoodConnect™’s open ecosystem provides IEWC with tech stack flexibility, allowing seamless integration with OTM, ERP, and other supply chain technology providers in the future.
