MFCP Empowers its Parcel Shipping Operation with Data and Analytics

Reveel Case Study

MFCP, based in Littleton, Colorado, offers one of the most extensive selections of hydraulics and pneumatics components, tools, and solutions; however, the company’s dramatic growth is being driven by far more than the broad selection of products it offers from more than 3,000 manufacturers. In addition to their exceptional skills, the company’s engineers and technical sales representatives provide customers with a comprehensive range of expert guidance and services, both in-store and in the field. This includes the availability of a 24-hour emergency repair program, ensuring that customers receive prompt assistance whenever they need it.

MFCP offers extensive manufacturing services for custom-built systems while providing expertise in designing and creating a wide range of products. Their capabilities include fluid power systems, hose and tube assemblies, mobile controls and electrification, industrial controls and automation, pneumatic assemblies, seals and gaskets, compressed air and gas systems, as well as factory infrastructure and facilities.

MFCP has established a strong presence in the market, serving customers through its e-commerce site, MFCP.com, and over 60 brick-and-mortar locations across various states including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Washington. The company’s customer base spans a wide range of industries, including aerospace and defense, agriculture, construction, electronics and semiconductors, energy and power generation, factory automation, food and beverage, brewery, life sciences, lumber and logging, marine and offshore, mobile equipment and machinery, oil and gas, transportation, and utilities.

Will Hoffman, vice president of operations, oversees the company’s freight logistics, parcel spend and distribution strategy. Not surprisingly, the company has a complex shipping profile, not only because of its many stores, but also the incredibly diverse array of products it offers.

Will Hoffman:

“One of my mentors shared with me that unless you are actively and accurately measuring something you are not really managing it. As an operations professional, I believe that philosophy is really a cornerstone of any successful corporate strategy; however parcel shipping historically was an exception and outlier because organizations had very little visibility over their shipping activity and no access to the real-time data needed managed it proactively.”

It was for that reason that Hoffman was immediately interested when he learned of Reveel’s Shipping Intelligence™ Platform. With it, he gained the power to not only collect data but also to conduct a thorough analysis to identify cost-saving opportunities and enhance the overall efficiency of MFCP’s operations.
