Plant Sourcing
Getting product from point A to point B is never as simple as it sounds.
Many times the items are going from point A to point E, with stops at B, C, and D in between. But with plant sourcing, we pick up the product at the source: your manufacturing facility. This will help you cut out at least one of those steps, reduce your supply chain costs, and get your product to market faster and fresher.
3 Ways You'll Cut Costs
Transportation
Eliminate the miles your trucks would normally travel to your distribution centers (DC) when we send a truck directly to your plant to pick up product.
Warehousing
Reduce or eliminate your warehousing costs by bypassing your DC and having the product go straight to our warehouses instead.
Inventory
Cut down your finished-goods-to-cash days. The sooner we take possession of the product, the sooner your inventory is turned into cash.
Sustainability and Plant Sourcing
Not only will you save money with our plant sourcing program, but you will be helping the environment too. On average, plant sourcing saves a company 25,000 miles a year, which is around 4,000 gallons of fuel you could remove from your company's footprint.
Everyone Wins with Plant Sourcing
Fresher Product
With fewer stops along the way, your food will get to market quicker, ensuring an optimal shelf life. Less obsolete product also means less food ends up in the landfill!
Less Damage
The likelihood of damaged or temperature-compromised product decreases when fewer people along the supply chain handle your product.
