“This award signifies that Lanter Distributing is in an elite group of carriers,” said Timothy M. Egan, Director, Integrated Logistics for Chef Solutions. “Lanter Distributing and OH Logistics have brought us quantifiable results that include a 3% improvement in on-time delivery based on scheduled and requested appointments. They have also helped us lower our overall logistics costs by helping us reduce multiple-stop TL and irregular-route LTL that we utilized heavily before redesigning our distribution network. In addition, we were able to smooth production and distribution schedules and reduce finished goods inventory levels. We overwhelmingly like doing business with Lanter Distributing because they understand the value of a true partnership. They help us contain costs, provide exceptional service and are easy to work with.”

As a result, their customer satisfaction levels have improved significantly. Lanter Distributing and OH Logistics are a great fit and we look forward to further developing our relationship with Chef Solutions.”
“I believe that the difference between a great supply chain and a mediocre one is how companies manage relationships with their service providers”, said Egan. “I think the relationship we have with Lanter and OH Logistics serves as a model for carrier negotiations going forward.”
