Adam Bishop, Senior Logistics Analyst at Honda, and Tom Meisinger, Quality Lead for Oracle Products at Redwood Logistics, will lead ‘Honda: When Minutes Matter’. The session will highlight a successful implementation of RedwoodConnect and OTM into Honda’s supply chain management to efficiently ship 7,000 orders per day and ensure timely delivery of critical parts to automobile, motorcycle and power-equipment dealers across North America. By leveraging order management, bulk plan optimization and creative integration solutions available via RedwoodConnect, Honda is now able to achieve 5.5% freight savings, less than 1% order bulk plan failures, and 6% order release consolidation to streamline processes to generate cost savings across the business.
“By taking details down to an orchestrational level, we are setting our customers up for a unique and customizable modern 4PL experience that can fuel their growth,” added Breen. “Our use case with Honda showcases how the RedwoodConnect™ platform can effectively streamline and orchestrate some of the most complex supply networks in the world while still providing the customer satisfaction that our users strive for.”
In the OTM Usability 101 session, Redwood will lead a session focused on enhancing the user interface (UI) experience in OTM. Attendees will gain valuable insights on optimizing their UI through column sizing, positioning on screen set and reducing clicks for quicker access to information.
