Linkt launched a managed supply chain services platform for consumer packaged goods (CPG) and food and beverage brands.
“The most common supply chain challenges CPG and food and beverage brands face include tight capacity, strict compliance rules, tight deadlines, and continuously rising operational costs,” says Frazer Kinsley, managing partner at Linkt. “Our approach is to delve deep into the unique aspects of each and every business we service, identifying their specific business requirements to craft supply chain solutions that not only ensure reliability and flexibility but also drive significant cost efficiencies throughout the supply chain.”
Key takeaways:
- Linkt provides dynamic solutions that pair technology with 1:1 consulting-level expertise to allow CPG and food and beverage brands the ability to scale up or down without having to redo their supply chain strategy every time consumer demand changes or they enter new markets.
- Services include a multimodal, agnostic mix of LTL, FTL, intermodal, and warehouse solutions with full-time, back-office support, including dynamic routing, real-time consolidation, track-and-trace, and claims and performance reporting with flexible capacity to meet dynamic demand.
- It also includes a hybrid asset approach starting from the point of PO issuance through the order-to-cash cycle. Linkt operates upstream to identify unique consolidation opportunities intra-brand and inter-brand between shippers.
- It also entails delivery of ambient, perishable, and frozen goods to wholesalers and brick-and-mortar locations with same-day delivery capabilities in specific regions and real-time tracking and status updates, as well as custom programs and on-platform inventory monitoring to develop in-house, self-distribution capabilities locally, regionally, and nationally for brands seeking direct supplier/buyer relationships.
