Testimonial

“This project is a groundbreaking initiative and will place Glazer’s at the forefront of supply chain best practices for our industry … Amber Road has been an invaluable partner in supporting our vision for a true collaborative trading partner network, and we look forward to working with them as we seek to leverage this solution to forge deeper links with our vendor and carrier community.”

Gregg Mitchell, Vice President Corporate Logistics, Glazer’s Family of Companies

Challenge
The second largest distributor of wine and spirits in the US , Glazer’s operates in a tightly regulated industry with outdated business processes and systems, and was challenged by a lack of visibility to inbound orders from its global vendors and suppliers.  In addition, the company’s manual order and shipment tracking processes frequently led to significant delays and difficulty in determining accurate inventory levels and expected arrival dates, leading to reactive expediting and additional intra-company transportation moves.
Solution
Amber Road's Supply Chain Visibility and Event Management solution provides Glazer’s with complete order and shipment visibility; synchronizes logistics data across Glazer’s supplier and trading partner network; and measures the performance of vendors and service providers using comprehensive scorecards and reports.  With access to real-time data on shipment dispatches and warehouse receipts, users can now better manage safety stock levels at each distribution centre, avoid expediting and reduce domestic transportation costs.
Benefits
  • Improved visibility of inbound inventory
