Janus Group

Project Description

BACKGROUND

Both the Federal Reserve Bank and American Express were clients of The Jannus Group, who supplied them both with paper. The Jannus Group came to Bruce (who at the time was running Transcom Freight Systems) with a dilemma.
AMEX

Client: The Jannus Group

Year: 1995

Timeframe: 3 months

Main Service: Logistics

Extra Service: Warehousing and last-mile delivery

 

TASK

The Jannus Group needed a way to service American Express and the Federal Reserve Bank with same-day delivery, billed on a  per ream of paper. Nothing of the sort existed at the time.

STRATEGY

We sought out local transport service companies that were too small to provide actual warehousing, but who provided same-day rush messenger service, and had enough storage space to accommodate a few skids of product. Since the freight industry was driven on a class vs. weight basis, a flat rate per piece matrix has to be created from the ground up.

RESULTS

Successfully developed a new first-of-its-kind pricing matrix for paper reams, and then built local paper storage and same-day rush service in 28 cities.
