“We’ve been working with BBQGuys for nearly a year, providing innovative, flexible warehousing solutions that support its rapid growth as America’s favorite grill e-retailer,” said William Peterson, Division President, Supply Chain (Americas) at GXO. “With GXO Direct, our shared-space distribution network, we can position BBQGuys’ inventories closer to major population centers on the east and west coasts, helping the company reach its consumers efficiently and cost-effectively with the flexibility necessary to adapt quickly to changing demand.”
GXO Direct ayuda a las compañías a crecer estratégicamente, ofreciendo espacio de almacén donde y cuando lo necesiten, además de conseguir acceso a la tecnología y experiencia líder en la industria de GXO. Esto ayuda a reducir gastos fijos y eliminar la necesidad de invertir en centros log ´siticos dedicados. Además, GXO Direct puede reducir los costes de transporte, acortar los tiempos de envíos y reducir las emisiones de CO2 emissions by reducing shipping miles and the need for carbon-intensive air transportation. At BBQGuys, the average order weighs around 250 pounds, so being able to efficiently manage such large purchases has been critical to the company’s success.
BBQGuys CEO Russ Wheeler said, “GXO has been an outstanding partner for us, supporting our growth at every step and in every region of the country — from stepping up to help when a hurricane disrupted our operations in Baton Rouge to helping us fulfill record orders leading up to Memorial Day. Now we’re working together to meet our record demand for the Fourth of July, and what’s more American than bringing people together for a backyard barbecue? We’re looking forward to our ongoing collaboration with GXO to enhance our operations and customer experiences.”
