1 The Next Generation of Supply Chain Collaboration How CPG Leaders are Making it Happen Brad Blizzard, Gene Evans, Roger Sechler, and Kevin Zweier

2 What are we doing? Using analytics to identify opportunities to collaboratively transport products from multiple CPG manufacturers to a retailer Investigating opportunities for operational feasibility Utilizing 3rd party to manage and execute the collaborative shipping and cost allocation process Reducing cost-to-serve while increasing velocity 2

3 Why should you care? Retailer More frequent replenishment Less inventory Fewer trucks at the dock Manufacturer More sales Lowest total landed cost to deliver those sales Co-shipping addresses these competing desires 3

4 What s needed to make it work? Information (i.e. data) and a willingness to share it CPG companies located in the same general area with a willingness to co-mingle freight Retailer participation as order and shipping patterns need to change 4

15 How do you start collaborative shipping? Typically two or more large shippers work together to find cross-network collaboration opportunities Transportation is usually a subset of a larger partnership Chainalytics is often brought in after a partnership is established, but we have matched companies up as well Chainalytics is a neutral partner who looks across the historical data to and identify transportation collaboration opportunities Participating shippers allow Chainalytics to expose some rate and volume information to participants Analysis looks across Truckload and Less-than-Truckload volumes to see where participants are shipping on similar lanes and where they might have less than full trucks already moving that are ripe for consolidation 15

16 Freight Market Intelligence Consortium Truckload Member Demographics July 2013 Model Statistics $18+ Billion in transportation spend 15+ Million truckloads 108 Members with TL spend ranging from $10MM to over $500MM Includes U.S., Canada and Mexico 7 Separate models (dry van, temp-control, intermodal, flatbed, 3 short haul models) Equivalent to over 7% of the total North American for-hire truckload market Industries by Transportation Spend 9% 22% Retailers Consumer Goods Paper & Packaging 15% Food & Beverage 46% Industrial/Other 8% Members by Annual Spend 23% 23% $0 - $50MM $50MM - $100MM $100MM - $250MM 29% 25% $250MM+ 16

18 Then, comes the hard part a deep dive into the operational considerations of the participant shippers and retailer to find the true opportunities, and map out the execution 18

19 Why are we investing in co-shipping? Potential Retailer Value Inventory reductions; improved working capital position Maintained or improved in-stock position Enable top line growth Less receiving dock congestion Improved logistics expense Sustainability gains Potential Manufacturer Value Improved strategic alignment with retailer Maintained or improved in-stock position Enable top line growth Improved logistics expense Sustainability gains Depending on existing ordering and supply chain profiles, value can show up differently across companies 19

21 Order Management Process Retailer creates POs across co-ship vendors in alignment with agreed upon parameters around volume, frequency, and date management POs are processed independently by each vendor Each vendor EDIs their PO shipment information to agreed upon independent 3PL Qualifies loads for co-shipment based on pre-defined parameters and communicates shipment variability back to vendors Tenders loads to carrier Schedules pick-up appointment with each vendor DC Schedules co-load delivery appointment with retailer Provides pertinent 214 event confirmations 3PL pays carrier and invoices each vendor based on agreed upon cost allocation methodology 3PL provides pertinent KPIs and scorecarding 21

23 What We re Doing Now 3 Shippers co-loading into 6 retailer DCs Retailers seeing inventory improvement while maintaining in-stocks Shipper cost result are variable Automated solution using 3PL Additional pilots with other shipper combinations into other retailers and DCs Similar results/benefits Manual process, not scalable Expanding to additional retailer using 3PL model 23

24 What s next? NEAR TERM Increase engagement with retailers Define clear value proposition for all trading partners Begin scaleable, regional initiative Explore shared dedicated fleet and co-location opportunities LONGER TERM Expand to other regions Most shippers located in same campus Specialized equipment for dedicated fleet Shared warehouse space for VAS with e-commerce solution 24
