Hanson Logistics Welcomes Omaha Steaks To The Chicago Consolidation Center
St. Joseph, Mich, Jan. 27, 2010 ‹ Hanson Logistics, a leader in temperature-controlled supply chain services, announced today that Omaha Steaks is now utilizing Hanson Logistics for distribution of inventory to support twenty-one of their retail stores in the greater Midwest market
region.
Hanson Logistics manages inventory, order mixing and direct store delivery to Omaha Steaks’ Midwest network of retail outlets. Omaha Steaks is one in a growing number of premier brands using the Hanson Chicago Consolidation Center, home to the Hanson Velocities Multi-Vendor Consolidation (MVC) Program.
Located near the I-80/94 and I-65 exchange in Hobart, Indiana, the three-year old facility takes advantage of the relatively congestion-free east side of Chicago and is strategically located for efficiently replenishing top retail and foodservice companies. In Velocities MVC, Hanson operates a scheduled distribution system, picking orders from cross-docked and forward inventory, then consolidating LTL shipments into a collaborative, multi-vendor truckload. Food manufacturers benefit from a shared truckload rate and a scheduled delivery; retailers and foodservice consignees reduce dock congestion and stock outs. Transportation service also includes inbound shuttles from food manufacturers, national truckload service and Chicago area deliveries.
“Omaha Steaks is a world-class brand known for superior quality and service,” said Andrew Janson, President of Hanson Logistics. “We are delighted to have them on board and committed to assuring Hanson ŒYes We Can!’ service with every delivery.”
