Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:
|
Menlo has been one of the leading U.S.-based 3PLs. Menlo was
recently selected as prime contractor for the U.S. Transportation
Command’s Defense Transportation Coordination Initiative. The
contract is a major win for Menlo over strong competitors and is
potentially worth $1.6 billion. Menlo has solid inbound supply chain
management and finished goods distribution. Menlo’s LMS provides
good technology and SCM solutions. Menlo now has more than 60% of
its operation in multi-client facilities. This arrangement allows
for improved labor efficiency. Parent Con-way has a strong,
profitable, less-than-truckload operation. Menlo has some
significant challenges this year.
