Collaborative Distribution – the next big thing

Kane is Able is at the forefront of the next major advance in supply chain management – collaborative distribution. Our Code Green program pools the inventory and shipments of small and mid-sized CPG manufacturers so common retail customers can receive fewer, larger shipments. The program reduces costs across the CPG supply chain and reduces carbon emissions, since the same volume of goods is delivered using fewer trucks.

The Basics of Code Green

• Uniform freight rate of $55 per pallet for Northeast distribution. That’s anywhere within a 500-mile radius of Kane’s collaborative warehouse in Scranton, PA. This rate can save participating companies 30% - 40% on current outbound freight costs.
• 1 million-square-feet collaborative warehouse dedicated to collaborative distribution in Scranton, PA. This is a large part of Kane’s 8.5 million square feet of distribution center space nationally. Eastern Pennsylvania has been rated the best time-to-market location for northeast region distribution based on its central location and proximity to major highways (Chicago Consulting).

Shared Savings for Retailers and Manufacturers

Collaborative distribution will require all partners in the CPG supply chain to change current processes. But with change comes significant financial rewards.

Company	Required Change	Benefit
CPG Manufacturers	Co-locate inventory with other companies (including direct competitors) who ship to same customers	Discounted freight & storage rates Reduced inventory
Retailers	Coordinate efforts of different buying groups to receive goods on same day	$5 per pallet rebate for each pallet received under program Reduced labor to receive inbound shipments
Third-party Logistics Providers	Change pricing model to reflect efficiencies of collaboration Invest in systems to enable data sharing across partners	Expanded business relationships and more strategic role in CPG supply chain
