Consumer Produced Goods: Customer Success Story
The Challenge
Following a corporate acquisition, a leading Canadian consumer packaged goods manufacturer faced declining On‑Time and In‑Full performance. A centralized supply chain, increasing inventory levels, and reliance on a third‑party logistics provider were limiting service reliability and scalability.
As the business transitioned from a make‑to‑ship to a make‑to‑forecast model, it required a flexible distribution partner capable of supporting higher volumes, tighter service expectations, and long‑term growth.
The Solution
After a competitive RFP process, XTL Logistics was selected to deliver an integrated distribution solution, including inventory management, dedicated warehousing, daily shuttle operations, and transportation services.
Due to unforeseen timing constraints, the transition was accelerated from a phased onboarding to a full operational launch within a compressed timeframe. XTL successfully migrated inventory, implemented standardized operating procedures, completed system integrations, and deployed a fully trained team without disrupting production or customer fulfillment.
The Results
- Improved service performance and operational reliability
- Scalable distribution model aligned with post‑acquisition growth
- Enhanced inventory visibility to support forecast‑driven production
The Outcome
XTL delivered a turnkey logistics solution under aggressive timelines, enabling the customer to stabilize performance and build a resilient supply chain platform designed for future expansion.
