Overview: Every company talks about being customer-driven. J.R. Simplot Co. does something about it. When Simplot, one of the world's largest processors of frozen potatoes, went looking for a Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider to manage its new dry distribution network, it put customer needs ahead of cost. The solution lay in the hiring of a 3PL that already had a network in place, and could combine Simplot's dried-potato business with the freight of other shippers, creating cost-efficient truckloads and consolidated lots. Simplot canvassed the 3PL landscape, starting with 15 candidates and eventually narrowing them to two. It chose Des Plaines, Ill.-based DSC Logistics for four distribution sites.
