Situation

A school district with 70 campuses was adding six additional schools, straining existing paper and office supply inventory management and in-house delivery capabilities, as well as drawing on an already strapped budget.

Challenge

Find an efficient and economical way to keep paper flowing to this growing list of campuses, working in concert with other logistical considerations, including bus schedules and staff availability.

Solution

JP Gould Bosworth met with school district administration and logistics leaders to understand the needs, schedules and budget. The account team then designed a comprehensive distribution program, which combined JP Gould Bosworth’s office paper manufacturing partners, co-operative inventory management and its own dedicated delivery fleet.

Outcome

JP Gould Bosworth now delivers office paper and other paper products directly to the district’s many locations, coordinating with bus operators and administrators to arrive before or after student arrivals and departures. The district’s schools now get the paper they need at less cost than their previous in-house operation.
