A specialty retailer’s distribution network extends from its distribution centers loading docks, into and out of the terminals of 3rd party transportation providers, and finally into the back rooms of its retail stores—far beyond the walls of their DC’s. Saving a step and simplifying a process allows faster delivery to your stores enhancing your bottom line and improving service levels to your stores. When you're dealing with scores of linehaul and pool distribution carriers, DC bypass or consolidators, third-party logistics companies, and multiple distribution centers, getting clear visibility into the retail store distribution process can be extremely challenging.

BearWare’s Business Services Group helps specialty retailers navigate the systems and processes in the most complex DC to retail store environment. Anchored by BearWare’s proven and industry-leading carton level visibility systems such as RDS and webTMS, our Business Services Group can help a specialty retailer’s transportation, inventory control and loss prevention teams develop best in class internal processes that will fully leverage these systems and the outbound transportation network.

Our Business Services Group has provided specialty retailers with assistance in a number of areas including:

  • Restructuring internal transportation departments to leverage data collected by BearWare’s systems
  • Developing a time definite delivery plan for a pool network
  • Restructuring and developing a pool provider delivery network
