RAM Supply Chain Inc. is proud to have conducted a logistics study for a Tennessee-based CPG company focused on producing and distributing health and holistic products for people and pets nationwide.  

Thanks to a deep study developed by RAM Supply Chain Inc., this company was able to identify double-digit savings in their logistics networks and is estimating their 2022 revenue to be near $50M.
