Greening supply chains in Indonesia and the Philippines saves sports apparel company $2.2 million

A sports apparel brand with stringent sustainability requirements looks to DSV to keep supply chains green in Indonesia and the Philippines. Meeting consumers’ expectations for new footwear products packaged neatly in boxes, the brand ships cartons comprised of individually boxed products. Not every shipment arrives full, so DSV collapses and stacks unused boxes so that they can be used for future orders. This practice of conserving packaging has saved the customer 69.7 percent in Indonesia and 74.98 percent in the Philippines, totalling $2.2 million in savings. What’s more, DSV’s optimisation of data through EDI allows better visibility of inventory needs so that the customer spends less on unneeded resources.
