Overview: The case study is on how UPS synchronizes commerce for Kingsdown, which is one of the largest independent sleep-system manufacturers in the United States. The challenge for the UPS was to maximize efficiency and tighten inventory controls while providing premium service in the delivery of high-end bedding products to retailers. The solution provided by UPS was a dedicated contract carriage (DCC) equipped with advanced transportation technology that increases visibility and data access throughout the supply chain. This solution resulted in reduced overall transportation costs, increased on-time delivery rate, enhanced inventory control and improved customer service and key performance metrics.
