Amoskeag Beverages is the largest beverage distributor in New Hampshire. The company sells more than 7 million cases of beer and non-alcoholic beverages each year, serving more than 3,000 accounts across the state.
Distributing this much product requires a large team, but in May 2019 and July 2022, labor shortages left Amoskeag short-staffed in the middle of their busy season. So they called on FHI NOW to help keep things on track.
Quick Response
In both instances, FHI NOW delivered an experienced team within 72 hours, as it does with every contract. This crew included 12 and 18 fully trained professionals, respectively, made up of order selectors, warehouse material handlers, and an on-site manager.
Maintained Stability
The team quickly got to work to keep the warehouse running smoothly and help the operations that were falling behind. With over 160 brands and 2,200 SKUs in the warehouse, the selection complexity was diverse, requiring attention to detail and experienced skills to keep orders accurate and shelving well-maintained.
Crisis Averted
In 2019, FHI NOW had Amoskeag back on track with on-time deliveries in just 8 weeks. In 2022, the team accomplished the same goal in 24 weeks. Amoskeag’s retailers’ shelves were restocked quickly, their accounts were satisfied and a potential crisis due to labor shortages was averted.
