Situation
When Office Depot introduced new, state-of-the-art distribution centers and cross-docks to their existing supply chain network, a logistics technology solution was needed to support their retail store needs.

	"myLogistics, collaboratively with Office Depot, was able to assess our needs, and offer an efficient and cost-effective solution that executed perfectly. Return-on-Investment (ROI) was immediate." Office Depot, Director of Transportation

Solution
This particular solution combined a number of myLogistics' products into an integrated solution made visible through myLogistics Online. The comprehensive solution ranges from scanning inbound materials all the way through to the completion of the multi-stop routes and summarized with online reporting and a data warehouse.

Benefits

• Inbound freight is scanned and volume is assessed  in preparation for routing and scheduling.
  
• The freight is optimized for outbound shipment while adhering to pre-determined rules and restrictions:  two(2)-hour window times at the store, trailer capacity, rush hour factors, and resource constraints..
  
• Completed routes are communicated to the WMS for pick-list generation and lane assignments. The fleet is also dispatched accordingly.
  
• The shipments are posted to the web for online visibility. Office Depot stores, operations and HQ are able to monitor the routes in real-time through the day as the fleet delivers the freight.
• Activity and events are captured in a data warehouse for online reporting. On-time performance, delivery exceptions and delay/detention are just a few of the measureables.
