Supply Chain Case Studies

International cargo distribution

ABL has partnered with an international cargo distribution company since 2008 and provides 800+ people annually with onsite leadership and automated time and attendance.

Multi-region distribution

One documented project required 70 screened and oriented people live within 14 days; another required 200 skilled people during a three-month ramp-up.

Cost strategy

A pricing strategy recommended by ABL for a global logistics provider represented a 10% reduction in annual temporary staffing costs.

What Companies Say About ABL

“ABL understands what we need in order to be competitive in this market… Whether it is 1 or 2 extra people last minute or staffing a whole shift during our peaks, ABL meets our needs.”

Operations Manager — Big-Box Distribution Company

“ABL is a large volume staffing provider that is consistent, transparent and proactive: ABL has been an exceptional partner for our operation. With more than 50 of their people working in our facility, they provide prompt service and stay closely connected to our day-to-day needs. Their team takes the time to understand our requirements and works with us to achieve our goals, adjusting quickly whenever we need support. They are onsite weekly to coach, assist, and ensure everything runs smoothly, and they’re always available when we need them. It’s clear they genuinely care about their staff and the quality of work provided. Communication is consistent, transparent, and proactive, making our partnership truly seamless. We highly recommend ABL Employment for their dedication, reliability, and hands-on approach.”

Operations Manager — Distribution Services

“We’re a Pet Supply company that packages and ships kitty litter and wood shavings for small animal cages in a small town rural community. In addition to common allergies and the prevalence of dust in the environment, this resulted in a limited local candidate-pool. We partner with ABL because they work closely with us to provide before-dispatch orientations that include photos and videos, and detailed descriptions of the kinds of substances and materials that are found onsite, to help limit the number of people who turnover after the first day due to these common issues. ABL also coaches and counsels candidates on the importance of wearing PPE properly to help avoid common first week issues that were previously typical. Their initiatives help lower first week turnover, and the associated costs of constantly training replacements.”

Department Manager — A Pet Supply Packing And Distribution Facility

“ABL has a communication approach to service: They spend a lot of time coaching the employees on what to expect before they come in. Then they talk to them after the shift and throughout the assignment. That really prevents problems and constant turnover. What a difference it makes.”
