National consumer packaged goods companies face many obstacles in meeting today’s strict retailer compliance requirements. With the surging cost of transportation and continuous supply chain disruptions, it is more critical than ever for suppliers to turn freight management into a strategic business advantage.
For one organic beauty and personal care brand, its Collect Pickup Program became inefficient when the Company began to experience lengthy pick-up delays. This caused delivery disruptions into retail, reduced shelf presence and an overall loss of sales.
“During the height of the supply chain disruptions, it became the norm rather than the exception to see delayed pick-ups, resulting in a resource allocation domino effect. We knew we needed a responsive, solution-oriented partner.”

After learning about the advantages of a Prepaid Program, the company turned to RJW Logistics Group, to help stabilize its supply chain. With years of proven experience serving Walmart, RJW leverages this first-hand knowledge to drive supplier compliance and eliminate fines, while increasing in-stocks and improving sales.
Enrolling in RJW’s Prepaid Program enabled the company to create a stronger, more consistent product flow and on-shelf presence. Through its Prepaid Retail Consolidation Program, RJW offers suppliers cost-effective, efficient distribution to retailer DCs, including multiple inventory review days, to generate shorter lead times, greater flexibility and increased control across the retail supply chain. With shorter lead times to store shelves, the company’s products are more frequently in-stock and available to consumers both in-store and online, leading to more opportunities to convert new customers and grow market share.
“Thanks to RJW we were able to restabilize our supply chain and reclaim our presence back on Walmart’s shelves. We’ve seen tremendous success working with a 3PL that delivers.”

Transitioning from an underperforming relationship to a collaborative partnership with RJW, the company benefited from increased efficiencies throughout its supply chain. As a result, RJW’s retail logistics expertise helped turn its freight management into a business advantage. The organic beauty and personal care brand credits its success within Walmart to the RJW team for its unwavering commitment to process improvement and transparency.

Following the implementation of its ERP system later this year, the Company seeks to expand its partnership with RJW by leveraging the advanced analytics platform, RJW Edge, to gain access to critical retail logistics data.
“We are confident that RJW Edge will deliver data-driven insights that will allow us to maximize our supply chain efficiencies and drive our business forward.”
