How outsourcing operations helped a major appliance retailer scale and improve last mile delivery

This major retailer spent many years relying on in-house operations and numerous providers to make its last mile deliveries. But as concerns about compliance grew, it decided to outsource most of its business to a single provider that could help it mitigate this risk.


After partnering with Hurtler’s solutions team, our operators and engineers designed a last-mile network to support their needs. This resulted in:

  • A solid, network-wide carrier management and compliance model.
  • Alignment of the retailer’s KPIs and how to drive improvement due to 10+ years of serving them in several markets.
  • Increased capacity, doubling the amount of markets supported in under two years; three of these start-ups involved taking over warehouses /cross-docks.
  • Multiple operations transferred/set-up, running quickly and effectively, all while maintaining high levels of customer delivery service and quality (including two-hour delivery windows).
  • Allowed the retailer to focus more on handling high – and occasionally volatile – delivery volumes while reducing its compliance exposure.
  • Flex delivery resources by as much as 30% to help accommodate the retailer’s many peak season surges.
  • Improvement of the retailer’s net promoter score by 13 percent in the eight markets taken over by Hurtler.
