Logistics often centers on moving products from point A to point B, but the details of the journey in between can be overlooked, leading to supply chain inefficiencies.
Ruan combines the flexibility of our non-asset and asset-based capabilities with optimal technology and superior service focused on continuous improvement, cost savings, and supply chain efficiency. We partner with customers to evaluate, optimize, and deliver a one-source, integrated supply chain solution focused on the journey that takes your products from point A to point B. Below are some of the unique steps we take to ensure we operate competitively and efficiently in the industry for our retail customers, delivering their products strategically from point A to point B.
Tailored solutions that optimize customer-centric initiatives.
In the retail environment, our customers often initiate projects that require tailored solutions to meet the specific goals of their organization. These projects often align with consumer demands and work to enhance the overall supply chain experience to strengthen customer satisfaction and loyalty in a competitive retail landscape. In addition to customer-initiated projects, our supply chain experts are always looking for opportunities to enhance our customers’ networks and deliver cost savings when it makes the most sense.
Scaled capacity to match customer business surges, ensuring flexible and reliable transportation.
Seasonal demands and unexpected events require a transportation partner with surge capacity. We surge when your business surges, and we can pull resources from our own network to accommodate your needs with our flexible capacity.
Optimized fleet efficiency, reduced waste, enhanced safety, and leveraged technology that drive continuous improvement.
Some of the key strategies that we use to align with our retail customers’ diverse needs include our empty mile utilization through backhauls and collaborative shipping. This eliminates waste in time, fuel, and fleet utilization. “Additionally, we leverage business intelligence and advanced technology to enhance productivity and responsiveness, allowing our team to adapt quickly to changing retail demands. These initiatives reinforce our reliability and dedication to meeting our customers’ high standards,” said Ruan Vice President of Operations, Jeremy Carmichael.
Specialized driver training to follow precise delivery procedures while maintaining product integrity to provide exceptional customer satisfaction and communication.
We provide ongoing, proactive driver training focused on safety, efficiency, and emerging technologies and utilize real-time coaching tools to enhance driving habits and reduce fuel consumption. Some of this training is specific to following precise store delivery procedures, maintaining product integrity, providing exceptional customer service and communication, and becoming a true extension of the business, all while maintaining our customers' brand standards.
