The Challenge
A global leader in agricultural produce operations was facing escalating G&A costs and inefficiencies across its decentralized warehouse facilities.
With a sprawling $157M annual operating budget, warehouse labor allocations and inventory management were tracked manually on fragmented spreadsheets.
This total lack of centralized, real-time visibility left executive teams unable to identify operational leaks, leading to inflated payroll costs and highly inefficient labor scheduling.
