KEY CHALLENGE

The customer struggled with unreliable delivery schedules that delayed critical supplies, parts, and tools from reaching contractors at the start of their workday.

Daytime deliveries disrupted branch operations, pulled staff away from serving customers, and forced locations to hold excess on-site inventory as a buffer against shortages. Without a consistent, pre-workday delivery solution, both operational readiness and customer service were frequently compromised.

Their previous provider’s inconsistent schedules left branches guessing when deliveries would arrive –stalling workdays, wasting time, and hurting over-the-counter sales.

OUR SOLUTION

Lanter® implemented its reliable Overnight Unattended Delivery solution

RESULTS

With this solution critical and stock orders flow seamlessly from the customer’s distribution centers to retail branches each night.
