Neenah Paper has selected Schneider Logistics as its Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider to manage all transportation functions and says the partnership will not only enhance the customer experience, but yield significant environmental savings.
As part of the agreement, Neenah is now using Schneider's proprietary suite of software, including its Transportation Management System. This will allow Neenah and Schneider to manage everything from demand planning to load optimization and even reporting. All of the tools are integrated to give end-to-end planning, execution and visibility across Neenah's transportation and logistics operations. In essence, the software helps ensure that all aspects of the supply chain run smoothly, so that every shipment is delivered on time in the most cost-efficient and effective manner possible.
Renee Schwartz, director of supply chain for Neenah Paper, explained that as the company evaluated its transportation management system, "we realized we needed to incorporate cutting-edge technology and processes into this aspect of our business. It just made sense to align ourselves with a proven leader like Schneider whose team will give us new ideas and solutions and help us provide better, faster and more transparent services to our customers, all while fitting within our environmental goals."
