Transplace, a leading provider of transportation management services and technology, has announced it has been selected by Pet Supplies Plus to efficiently manage all domestic transportation activities. The transportation management provider will employ its proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS) to optimize inbound and outbound product flows across the Pet Supplies Plus network and improve operational efficiency. “Transplace brings both deep retail experience and comprehensive transportation technology to help our organization implement and manage a cost-efficient and service-oriented program for our stores,” said Miles Tedder, CIO and chief supply chain officer, Pet Supplies Plus. “Through our collaborative partnership, Pet Supplies Plus will look to build upon its established supply chain programs through comprehensive transportation planning, execution and management, as well as further optimize our network while feeding the growth across our store base.” A privately held pet supply retailer with a major presence in the U.S., Pet Supplies Plus will utilize Transplace’s full suite of managed transportation services. Transplace’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) TMS gives Pet Supplies Plus greater control of its transportation operations, allowing the retailer to view and analyze key performance data and develop strategies for meeting its growth and operational goals. In addition, Transplace is providing Pet Supplies Plus a dedicated team in order to continue to identify and take advantage of opportunities within its supply chain network to improve efficiencies and cost savings. “Pet Supplies Plus was looking to cost-effectively scale its transportation network to support its continued growth, and selected Transplace due to our extensive expertise, leadership in TMS and innovative transportation management solutions,” said Brent Hudspeth, vice president, Transplace. “We are committed to help Pet Supplies Plus tap supply chain best practices and achieve reduced delivered costs per case, while also enhancing its already high level of service to its stores.”
