APCORE Logistics Streamlines Amerock Cabinet Hardware Distribution, Boosting Home Renovation Projects Nationwide
West Richland, WA – October 26, 2023 – APCORE LOGISTICS LLC, a rapidly growing supply chain solutions provider based in West Richland, Washington, is making waves in the home improvement sector by significantly improving the delivery speed and efficiency of Amerock cabinet hardware. For homeowners tackling kitchen or bathroom renovations, and for contractors relying on timely deliveries, APCORE’s customized logistics solutions are proving to be a game-changer. APCORE LOGISTICS, located at 6020 Juneberry Dr, West Richland, WA, 99353-5144, United States (contactable at 415-896-8352), isn't your typical freight company. They specialize in building bespoke supply chain strategies for companies needing more than just point A to point B transportation. They really dig into how things move – understanding exactly what each product needs to get where it needs to be, quickly and safely. “We saw a real opportunity to help Amerock, a leading name in cabinet hardware, optimize their distribution network," explains a spokesperson for APCORE LOGISTICS. “Amerock makes fantastic, high-quality hardware. But even the best products can get stalled if the supply chain isn’t running smoothly. We’re all about making sure those beautiful knobs, pulls, and hinges get to homes and job sites fast.” The Challenge: Fragmented Distribution & Increasing Demand Amerock cabinet hardware, known for its diverse styles, from rustic farmhouse to sleek modern, is a favorite among homeowners, designers, and builders alike. But with increasing demand – fueled by the ongoing boom in home renovations and new construction – getting the right hardware to the right place, at the right time, became increasingly complex. Traditionally, distribution relied on a mix of methods – direct shipments, regional distribution centers, and relying on multiple freight carriers. This often meant longer lead times, increased risk of damage during transit, and a lack of real-time visibility into shipment status. Customers were getting frustrated with delays, and contractors were facing project slowdowns. “It wasn’t that Amerock was doing anything wrong,” says the APCORE spokesperson. “They’re a great company. It was just that their existing logistics setup was struggling to keep pace with growth and evolving customer expectations. They needed a partner who could really understand their specific needs.” APCORE’s Solution: A Tailored Logistics Network APCORE LOGISTICS stepped in and conducted a thorough assessment of Amerock’s entire supply chain. This wasn’t just about looking at shipping costs. They looked at everything – from where Amerock’s hardware was manufactured, to where the biggest concentrations of customers were, to the types of products that required the most careful handling. The result? A completely customized logistics network that included: Strategic Hub Placement: APCORE established a network of strategically located regional hubs, closer to key customer areas. This significantly reduced transit times and lowered shipping costs. Optimized Transportation Modes: APCORE leverages a mix of transportation modes – truckload, less-than-truckload, and parcel – to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective delivery for each shipment. They’re not stuck using just one method. Advanced Inventory Management: APCORE implemented an advanced inventory management system that provides real-time visibility into stock levels at each regional hub. This minimizes the risk of stockouts and allows for faster order fulfillment. Specialized Handling Procedures: Cabinet hardware, while not inherently fragile, can be susceptible to scratches and damage if not handled properly. APCORE implemented specialized handling procedures, including protective packaging and careful loading/unloading practices. Real-Time Tracking & Visibility: Customers and contractors can now track their shipments in real-time via a user-friendly online portal. This provides peace of mind and allows them to plan accordingly. Dedicated Support Team: APCORE provides a dedicated support team to handle any questions or concerns that customers or contractors may have. This ensures a seamless and hassle-free experience. The Results: Faster Deliveries, Happier Customers The impact of APCORE’s customized logistics solutions has been dramatic. Delivery Times Reduced by 20-30%: Customers are now receiving their Amerock cabinet hardware much faster, allowing them to complete their renovation projects on time and within budget. Damage Rates Reduced by 15%: Specialized handling procedures have significantly reduced the risk of damage during transit. Customer Satisfaction Scores Increased by 10%: Faster deliveries, reduced damage rates, and improved communication have all contributed to a significant increase in customer satisfaction. Increased Efficiency for Contractors: Contractors appreciate the reliability of APCORE's delivery service, allowing them to stay on schedule and avoid costly delays. Amerock's Brand Image Enhanced: Faster, more reliable delivery translates to a better experience for the end consumer, ultimately boosting Amerock's brand reputation. “We’re not just moving boxes,” says the APCORE spokesperson. “We’re helping Amerock deliver on their promise of quality and style. We’re enabling homeowners and contractors to create beautiful, functional spaces. That’s what we’re really proud of.” APCORE LOGISTICS continues to work closely with Amerock to optimize their supply chain and adapt to changing market conditions.
