CORE X Partners: Delivering On Time In Full with Service and Safety

Excellence in Cold Storage Services across North America
In today’s fast-paced world, meeting customer expectations for timely and complete deliveries has become more crucial than ever. On-Time In Full (OTIF) is a key performance indicator that measures the efficiency and effectiveness of a company’s supply chain. It signifies the successful completion of deliveries where customers receive the correct quantity of goods, at the right location, and within the promised delivery timeframe. At CORE X Partners, upholding high OTIF standards is a cornerstone of our supply chain services. As a partner in our customers’ distribution chain, we take pride in meeting their customers’ and retailers’ expectations and needs. We’ll dive into how we effectively ensure optimized and in-full delivery for our full freight, LTL, and consolidation customers soon. But first, let’s look at OTIF as a whole, and examine why it is so important in the supply chain.

The Significance of OTIF

Beyond merely meeting delivery commitments, robust OTIF performance holds the key to building enduring customer/retailer loyalty and operational efficiency. CORE X Partners recognizes that, by consistently achieving high OTIF rates, they can elevate customer satisfaction, leading to enhanced brand reputation and repeat business. Moreover, the vigilant monitoring of OTIF plays a pivotal role in driving substantial cost savings through streamlined inventory management, optimized transportation logistics, and mitigating demurrage costs and vehicle wear.

Role of OTIF in Streamlining the Supply Chain

CORE X Partners acknowledges that focusing on OTIF delivery standards translates into streamlined supply chain operations, sharply reducing the need for buffer stock management, last-minute rush shipments, and order adjustments. This simplified approach fosters a more efficient and cost-effective supply chain, which benefits CXP customers in the following ways:

  • improved inventory management, resulting in lower holding costs and reduced waste
  • enhanced customer satisfaction due to reliable and timely deliveries
  • increased operational efficiency by minimizing disruptions and delays
  • stronger supplier relationships through consistent and predictable order fulfillment
By prioritizing OTIF, CORE X Partners not only meets but exceeds customer expectations, driving sustainable growth and competitive advantage.

Driving More Value with OTIF

High OTIF rates do not merely symbolize delivery commitments; they also generate value across the supply chain. Enhanced customer loyalty, considerable cost savings, a competitive edge, and stronger supplier relationships all stand as a testament to the pivotal role that OTIF plays in optimizing supply chain performance.
