OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug 28, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- In response to changes in supplier delivery requirements by major retailers, YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW) announced today expanded window delivery capabilities across all of its transportation companies. The suite of flexible "guaranteed window" solutions is designed to help retail suppliers avoid costly charge-backs when precise delivery windows are not met. The services also help retailers accurately project and accept delivery of merchandise into their distribution centers, warehouses and stores.
YRC Inc., the largest transportation unit of YRC Worldwide, offers a standard or guaranteed Multiday Window delivery service across all of North America. The company pioneered the service offering through Roadway in 2004 and Yellow Transportation in 2008. Now available through YRC Inc., the service is a cost-effective choice for retail suppliers looking to meet new delivery windows.
"We continue to see a rise in the number of major retailers implementing 'must arrive by date' (MABD) and delivery window supplier requirements," said John Garcia, executive vice president and chief sales officer for YRC Worldwide. "With our recent portfolio expansions, all YRC Worldwide companies offer solutions that precisely address delivery window needs, providing our customers with unmatched flexibility and reliability."
YRC Worldwide companies offer retailers and their suppliers the most options for speed and precision within their supply chains -- regionally, nationally and internationally. Like the "guaranteed window" services offered to customers on the YRC network, customers of the YRC Worldwide regional operating companies can also reap the same benefits.
Holland began offering retail suppliers in the Central U.S. single-hour, multi-hour, single-day and multi-day delivery window capabilities in January, and Reddaway introduced the same capabilities to regional customers located in the West in May. New Penn also offers guaranteed window options to customers located in the Northeast.
"With weak demand and low inventories, businesses don't have multiple chances to get the right product in front of the right customer, especially during the peak fall season," said Garcia. "Our experienced service professionals understand that now -- more than ever -- supply chain predictability and retail scorecard performance metrics are critical."
