Wine and Spirits Logistics Spotlight

Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board

The PLCB purchases and distributes all wine & spirits sold in Pennsylvania, making it one of the largest purchasers of wines and spirits in the country. KANE operates a DC for the PLCB and manages delivery to 212 of the agency’s Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores. Orders are sent to KANE after midnight, staged that same day and delivered to stores the following day. Most deliveries are unloaded by hand, with special care for this highly-fragile inventory.  

      

The dedicated fleet services contract between the PLCB and KANE began in 1989 and continues today due to the quality and efficiency of the KANE freight delivery solution.

Distributors know precisely when orders will arrive thanks to KANE’s adherence to pinpoint delivery windows.  

 

As a result of the regional distribution model, distribution cycle time went from 2-3 weeks to 2 days and KANE enabled this wine maker to minimize the cost of transportation.
