Sabrosura Foods 28% in Cost Savings Through Freight Optimization

Sabrosura Foods, a producer of premium Latin American food brands such as Pancho’s, La Morenita, and El Viajero has achieved a 28% reduction in freight costs through a data-driven freight management strategy. Third-party logistics provider ODW Logistics (ODW) optimized Sabrosura’s transportation network, improving shipment consolidation, carrier selection, and overall supply chain efficiency.

“Our partnership with ODW Logistics has been instrumental in improving our supply chain,” said Kristi Wedel, VP of Supply Chain at Sabrosura Foods. “Their team delivered tailored solutions that reduced our freight costs and gave us better visibility across our network, allowing us to make more strategic decisions.”

Managing refrigerated LTL shipments from multiple locations presented challenges in cost control and network efficiency, so Sabrosura secured ODW’s expertise to conduct a full analysis of its transportation model. As a result of the analysis, ODW implemented a freight management strategy focused on load consolidation, carrier optimization, and cost reduction.

By leveraging ODW’s Freight Optimization strategy, Sabrosura transitioned numerous shipments from LTL to full truckload, reducing per-pound shipping costs while maintaining service reliability. ODW’s dedicated freight management team also directed both the planning and execution, ensuring cost-effective routing and improved network visibility. These combined efforts led to significant savings while improving operational efficiency.

“At ODW Logistics, we take pride in being a true extension of our partners’ transportation teams, delivering solutions that create real impact,” said Travis Broermann, Team Lead Manager – Freight Management for ODW. “By optimizing Sabrosura Foods’ freight network, we reduced costs and improved efficiency and visibility across their supply chain. We look forward to building on this success and identifying even more opportunities for improvement in the future.”

This year, ODW and Sabrosura will focus on additional logistics enhancements, including optimizing inbound freight, evaluating new distribution opportunities, and refining shipment planning for increased efficiency. With a proven cost reduction and operational improvement track record, ODW remains committed to delivering logistics solutions that help businesses scale and succeed.
