## The Challenge

Carrier Dependence

A leading golf equipment manufacturer shipping from its Phoenix, AZ campus, relied heavily on a single parcel carrier. Rapid growth and transportation market volatility created cost and capacity risks, especially during seasonal demand surges.

With annual parcel spend exceeding $5.5 million, the company needed a strategy to diversify carriers without disrupting its primary FedEx agreement.

TransImpact’s Parcel Contract Negotiation solution introduced four additional carriers, allowing the company to dynamically shift parcel volume, stabilize costs, and improve operational flexibility. The result is a resilient parcel network better aligned with customer and retailer service expectations.
