Dave Hauptman - Chief Commercial Officer - Kenco Group - Franklin, TN Key trends in eCommerce delivery: Cost Over Speed: Consumers place more value on free shipping than the speed of the delivery. Visibility: While speed is not as essential as cost, it is critical companies ensure their customers have visibility into their order status from the time they check out to receiving the package at their front door. Connection to the Brand: Low cost = high connection: For non-commodity purchases, companies should take active efforts (include stickers, key chains, low cost items, etc. in their packages) for its customers to create a connection with its brand. Returns Management: Companies need to correctly balance the fine line between encouraging returns and simply showing customers how you can. To help companies uphold delivery standards and keep customers satisfied, Kenco recommends focusing on the following areas: Inventory Optimization: Companies should prioritize having full visibility into their inventory levels. They must be accurate when listing the items they have on their website to avoid having to cancel or change an order. Acceptation/Notification: Must notify customers when an order is delayed for any reason. Companies must work with their delivery providers to have a strong line of communication – specifically for address changes, delays, etc. Competitor Landscape: Brands must keep up to date about their competitors efforts to ensure they are not out performing them significantly. Ways Kenco supports companies in their eCommerce efforts: Different Maturity Phases: At Kenco, we consider the different levels of maturity for organizations and adjust operations based on this – discuss the use of SlotDC. Sustainable Growth: Kenco brings a level to sustainability to organizations by highlighting areas in need of improvement as the company moves through maturity phases. Compliance Management: As eCommerce brands move to brick-and-mortar, Kenco helps them meet the strict compliance regulations when shipping items enforced by large retailers to help avoid costly fines.

Paula Hise - Sr. Vice President, Consumer Packaged Goods - Kenco - Chattanooga, TN Key trends include: Receding order volumes, increased distribution costs, and labor shortages During COVID, order volumes for consumer packaged goods increased. Now, orders are receding. Today it costs more to ship the same product, and much of that increase is attributed to rising labor costs as wages are increased to retain employees during today's labor shortage. Raising product prices will not help offset higher shipping costs because most consumer packaged goods are consumables with low brand loyalty among consumers. If prices go up, consumers will simply flip to another brand. Many of the major labor shortages in the CPG supply chain are apparent in these roles across the industry: Forklift operators White collar jobs that support warehousing and distribution, such as specialty roles in quality, regulatory and compliance. Business analysts Engineers Too much warehouse space and equipment: Again, because order volumes are down, many companies have too much warehouse space and equipment. Kenco is also helping customers find other companies to take over those commitments or redeploy the equipment somewhere else.   To help CPG providers manage the labor shortage and reduce their shipping costs, Kenco recommends that they: Use technology to make sure that the labor is as efficient as possible. For example, automation can reduce reliance on labor, and also help the labor we do have more easily manage their tasks. Offer flexibility. Flexible work hours are key, especially with more millennial and Gen Z employees entering the workforce. These generations do not want to be tied down to a 9-5 in the office every day or be unable to easily swap shifts. Kenco has introduced an app called Shift Swap, which allows our employees to put their shifts up for bid and swap and trade shifts with one another. This has increased our retention rate as employees are able to make all of their shifts. Engage employees. Much of the turnover for employees across many industries comes in their first 12 months of employment. At Kenco, we know that if we can offer a positive, engaging work environment during that first year, our employees are happy to work with us for years. We have a first year experience program in which our leadership and management teams make sure that they're doing regular check-ins with their direct reports.

About Capstone Logistics Capstone Logistics is the leader in providing specialized, technology-enabled solutions for the most challenging supply chains.

From performance-driven labor solutions to high-touch transportation and fulfillment, Capstone delivers the scale, accountability, and continuity that enables modern supply chains to compete in an ever-evolving environment. Key Takeaways: A New Model for Grocery Delivery Sean Coakley is the Chief Commercial Officer of Capstone Logistics, a leading provider of technology-enabled warehouse services, freight management, and last mile distribution solutions. In the podcast interview, Sean and Joe discuss the new model for grocery delivery, which might also be called the “revenge of the retailers.” Prior to the pandemic, grocery retailers were slowly dipping their toes into ecommerce and grocery delivery. The sales and associated infrastructure were very small. The pandemic changed everything for grocery retailers – suddenly, consumers wanted to order their groceries online and get them delivered. Many grocery retailers didn't have their own ecommerce sites, fulfillment, and delivery services. Enter the grocery delivery services like Shipt, Instacart, and others who provide a ready-made solution for the grocery delivery challenge. These companies provide the consumer interface, ecommerce technology, integrations, and personal shoppers perfect for grocery retailers who wanted to accommodate their house-bound customers. Consumers loved it – a record amount of consumers took advantage of this wonderful new service. Grocery shopping will never be the same and research suggests that 20% of groceries will be sold online by 2025. The only problem is grocery retailers don't like it. They no longer have a direct relationship with their customers who use the grocery apps. They also lose control of the data and the customer experience. Worst of all, many grocery retailers lose money on home delivery transactions. A new model for grocery delivery has emerged. Grocery retailers are creating their own ecommerce sites and partnering with logistics companies to manage fulfillment and delivery. The new model has promise because grocery retailers will own the customer relationship and experience along with valuable data and insights. Best of all, grocery stores can be profitable on their fastest growing customer segment – home delivery. Additionally, the logistics providers will optimize the fulfillment and delivery service under a white label service. All communication, personnel, and vehicles carry the grocery store brand. Capstone's Last Mile service has the operational expertise and technology that gives grocery retailers an advantage over crowd-sourced delivery apps. Their solutions enhance the customer experience and give retailers more control, increased efficiency, and improved profitability.   Learn More About A New Model for Grocery Delivery Sean Coakley LinkedIn Capstone Logistics Capstone Grocery Delivery Services Cub case study Integrated End-to-End Supply Chain Solutions End-to-End Logistics Solutions The Logistics of Logistics Podcast If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

John will discuss ‘3 Key Investment Areas to Improve Warehouse Safety Program' John, can you tell us about yourself and Kenco Group? Kenco is a top-ranked 3PL company in the United States. John will briefly discuss his role at Kenco. How have the last few years impacted warehouse safety for workers? The past several years introduced a bevy of unique safety challenges for warehouses. A combination of factors—including rising consumer expectations around speed of delivery, a pandemic-induced eCommerce boom, talent shortages, and company cost-cutting measures—created a perfect storm of increasing pressure and supply chain complexity, and new concerns about warehouse worker safety were brought to light. This new environment demands a modern approach to managing safety and a keen eye to emerging technology. The need to invest in safe and secure workplaces has become increasingly more crucial and shows no signs of slowing down. How are safety professionals shifting how they measure safety success? Instead of seeking the absence of injury, safety professionals are now looking for the presence of defenses that keeps workers safe. It should be obvious, but can you tell us why warehouse operators should invest more in safety? Employee satisfaction and retention Cost avoidance Business continuity What are the three key investment areas that every warehouse manager should focus on to optimize and improve their safety performance? Culture & People PPE and Exoskeletal Wear Telematics & Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) How are you helping improve safety through Kenco? Safety is a core principle for us, and we have developed a comprehensive safety management program, tailored to keep businesses running smoothly, costs lower, and workers safe. We focus on Accident and Injury Prevention, Safety Responsibility, Safety Training, and Safety Audits. If you would like to learn more about warehouse safety, please visit kencogroup.com.

On this episode of Transform Talks, Felix Vicknair, Vice President, Supply Chain Solutions at Kenco Group, joins host Maria Villablanca.   With multi-decade experience in supply chain consulting, Felix shares lessons he's learned through changing times.   Digital transformation or automation turns up the speed for companies. If businesses aren't aligned with what they need in a digital transformation, they'll be going faster, potentially in the wrong direction. The need for planning and understanding the level of dynamics involved in the digital transformation is critical.   Also vital to the success of a digital transformation project is team alignment. Felix speaks about the ideal team for executing digital transformation projects. Communication and alignment are key. A team that is self-aware of each other's strengths with communal communication is more apt for success. He also highlights leadership and its relation to the success of large-scale projects.   Felix shares real-time examples of applying advanced analytics with forecasting. He's used drones on projects and expects robots to be utilized next. In the end, it all comes down to understanding the needs of the customer and the direction they're headed.

In the UK, the Guardian reports that consumers spent an additional GB£24 million in tea and coffee sales across July. Across the Atlantic, Keurig and Breville both reported increases in sales of their respective home brewing devices. Searches for coffee subscription services—whether for whole bean, ground, or specialty instant offerings—yield numerous features across popular media outlets touting lists of “the best coffee subscriptions for every kind of coffee lover.” Less anecdotally, the SCA's own research with Square showed a 109% increase in subscription coffee sales for coffee shops. A separate SCA COVID-19 community impact survey confirmed this trend, reporting that 42% of the responding businesses saw a significant increase in online coffee revenues. As specialty coffee roasters around the world worked to grow their online sales, an explosion of brew guides and other home-consumption content appeared across our feeds. This trend for increased at-home coffee consumption is reflected across investment news outlets. JDE Peet's, which encompasses several coffee brands including Peet's Coffee, L'OR, Douwe Egberts, Tassimo, and Kenco, reported growth across the first half of 2020 despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company attributed this to the variety of companies in its portfolio, remarking that it allowed them to “quickly adapt to rapidly changing consumer habits, following the dynamic shift of cups from the away-from-home to the in-home environment.” Nestlé and Nespresso reported similar growth across the first half of 2020, particularly across their coffee at-home product category. But the trend isn't limited to large, multinational brands: At this year's Re:co event, James Watson, a beverage analyst with Rabobank, reported strong growth in US grocery sales of whole bean coffee since March. This metric is often used as a proxy for specialty coffee sales.As the pandemic continues to push consumers into this segment of the market, some specialty coffee companies have begun to focus on making coffee easier for consumers to access and enjoy. In Australia, Market Lane set up a vending machine full of roasted coffee and brewing equipment outside of their shop for customers' 24-hour access. Online retail is one way to reach customers through fluctuating lockdowns, so some roasting companies are exploring more “ready to drink” options, like white-label specialty instant coffee services or growlers of cold coffee. Notably, Cometeer, a company offering frozen specialty-grade coffee has participated in group purchases of the 2020 Cup of Excellence winning lots across Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica. Cometeer's coffee capsules were the recipient of a 2019 Specialty Coffee Expo Best New Product Award in the Open Class category. Despite more people brewing at home, coffee companies are still struggling with the current climate of work closures and social distancing measures. In the second iteration of our COVID-19 community impact survey, 48% of respondents said the impact on their business was significantly or existentially negative. However, there was a significant shift in optimism between the surveys, opened in March and June, as specialty coffee companies are learning to adapt and survive in the current pandemic.This episode of Recap was made possible with the support of DaVinci.
