Walmart is simplifying inbound logistics and reducing costs for suppliers that prepay for freight service.
Walmart launched a prepaid consolidation program merging suppliers' shipments under one purchase order per location.
KEY POINTS
- Automated consolidation points now combine less-than-truckload shipments into full truckloads for greater efficiency.
- The new process cuts pallet and labor costs for suppliers and improves order cycles and sales quantities.
- Suppliers previously had to create up to 42 separate purchase orders and pallets for distribution.
