Before
FGF ships fresh bakery from the Greater Toronto Area into US grocery distribution centers. A missed appointment means product aging on the dock, and the border adds its own clock.
How it started
Our team took on FGF's recurring lanes from Toronto into US grocery DCs.
What we saw
Three things set the pace: tight DC windows, customs on product with a short shelf life, and volume that swung week to week.
What we changed
- Dedicated coverage on the recurring lanes, with backup capacity for the swings.
- Appointments booked ahead and protected on every load.
- PODs and delivery confirmations sent the same day.
