Rhino Metals
Who Is the Client?
Rhino Metals, based in Caldwell, Idaho, USA, has been crafting high-quality metal products since 1995. Initially, it was a small metal fabrication business, but it has since grown into an industry leader. Today, Rhino Metals manufactures gun safes, tool chests, and industrial-style furniture. Known for its craftsmanship and innovation, Rhino Metals serves a wide range of customers, including major retailers, and focuses on delivering premium-quality products.
What Was the Issue?
Rhino Metals needed to optimize its shipment processes to meet the demands of big-box retailers. Preparing shipments for these customers required significant time and resources, and without an optimized system, they faced several challenges:
- Strict transportation standards: Big-box retailers have well-organized transportation departments. Rhino Metals needed a professional approach to meet their expectations and ensure timely deliveries.
- Product damage during transport: Without proper planning, some products were damaged during transport. This increased freight costs and decreased customer satisfaction.
- Poor shipment preparation: Furthermore, understanding load concentrations, weights, and transportation details was challenging. This inefficiency wasted valuable time and limited logistics effectiveness.
