Reducing complexity and lowering costs

A global healthcare company wanted more control over distribution costs and capabilities. FORTNA helped this client develop a strategy to simplify their distribution network and bring 3PL work in-house.

The plan included merging fulfillment for their business units, upgrading systems and the design-build of three new DCs — all in just three years to address expiring leases.   The FORTNA solution has reduced inventory, lowered costs and expanded capabilities to handle the demands of their growing business.
