You can’t control disruption – but you can choose a supply chain partner that is built to withstand it. Geopolitical instability, shifting tariffs and rising costs expose critical vulnerabilities that can derail production, disrupt timeliness and threaten business success. For CPG suppliers, these pressures intensify amid inflation, shifting consumer demand, labor shortages and transportation disruptions.

The bottom line? Adapt – or risk falling behind. According to McKinsey, over 90% of supply chain leaders have faced at least one major disruption in the past year, with nearly half describing the impact as “severe.” In today’s climate, inaction is not an option.

While we can’t fix global uncertainty, we can offer something better: scalability, dependability and a 3PL partnership built to help you navigate what’s next. Here’s how we’re helping CPG suppliers navigate volatility with confidence.

3 Steps to Managing Supply Chain Volatility

Retail Consolidation for Greater Control

RJW Logistics Group’s Retail Consolidation program enables suppliers to leverage economies of scale by sharing truckloads with other customers to create a single, full truckload to the same retailer distribution center. This streamlined approach significantly reduces transit time and costs, enabling products to reach shelves faster and more efficiently.

A single RJW consolidated truckload eliminates an average of 34 complex Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) loads. Boasting a two-day transit time – compared to LTL’s typical five days – suppliers benefit from 20-30% cost savings. This method supports greener, more efficient routes, while boosting in-stock availability and sales.

Since 2013, RJW has delivered over 98% On-Time, 99% In-Full with nearly 100% accuracy.

Improve Forecasting Through Predictive Analytics

RJW Edge is designed to drive operational excellence across today’s supply chains. With on-demand reporting, item cost and performance analysis, advanced inventory analytics and automated claims and disputes, suppliers are positioned to make the right business decisions, anytime, anywhere. This translates directly to stronger bottom-line performance through faster insights, reduced costs and improved supply chain efficiency.

In 2022, RJW Edge recovered $2.8M+ in fine returns for its customers.

Strengthen Compliance to Avoid Retail Penalties

With stricter delivery standards than ever, retailer non-compliance can quickly erode supplier margins. RJW Logistics Group helps suppliers stay ahead of these demands by delivering 98%+ On-Time and 99%+ In-Full (OTIF) performance, while expertly managing the complex, retailer-specific requirements that drive compliance success.

RJW’s retail compliance experts proactively monitor and adapt to evolving retailer expectations, helping suppliers proactively avoid chargebacks. Real-time dashboards and performance scorecards provide clear visibility into delivery performance by retailer and SKU, empowering brands with the data they need to make fast, informed action.
