Holland, MI: LeanLogistics, the leading provider of Web-native Transportation Management Systems (TMS), has announced that Pennant Foods has chosen LeanLogistics On-Demand TMS to improve transportation operations for its outbound shipments. Pennant Foods manufactures high quality, innovative bakery products, including frozen puff pastry, cookies, croissants and Danish pastries. They also offer a complete line of baking ingredients.

Using LeanLogistics On-Demand TMS will not only reduce transportation spend, but Pennant uses LeanLogistics’ WebSettle settlement functionality which eliminated the use of a check writing company for additional savings.

“Using LeanLogistics On-Demand TMS has helped us become a more efficient enterprise by reducing freight costs and improving on-time performance of shipments,” says David Fleming, senior logistics manager at Pennant Foods.

Because of rising fuel costs and increased transportation spend, Pennant utilizes pooling operations from their Northlake plant, which allows them to reduce transportation expenses by consolidating their less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments with other companies' compatible freight headed in the same geographic direction. LeanLogistics On- Demand TMS will oversee these operations. The Northlake plant ships products to five pooling locations where products are unloaded, married with other trucks’ freight and then delivered to customers.
