Sample Case Study

Problem
One of the largest auto insurance groups in the United States having more than 10 million policies in force selling insurance directly to customers online and by phone, and offer insurance through more than 30,000 local independent agents was looking for a innovative way to attract more customers. They partnered with an ad agency who developed a concept of attending festivals throughout the U.S. The company needed to align with a logistics provider with an exceptional knowledge of the exhibit industry and was able to support their plans. The festivals would be outdoor events that would be just days long and had no storage for empty crates.

Solution
CRST Specialized Transportation Inc was able to develop a plan that allowed the exhibit to be delivered, set up, empties taken away. In addition, the same driver returned to the exhibit site to deliver the crates, waiting until they were loaded and then moved to the next location.
