A large automotive parts and tire retailer partnered with enVista to fix overstocks, poor forecasting and inefficient replenishment across 750 stores and multiple DCs. enVista redesigned the supply chain using network optimization, introducing a two-DC cross-dock with 31 spokes and increasing store delivery frequency.
