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.
