This new agreement will see Vitran manage a completely re-engineered supply chain for Mark's Work Wearhouse involving 69 vendors and 141 retail outlets across Canada.

This alternative logistics concept will increase efficiency, drive down cost and capture the information needed to improve Mark's ordering system, furthering their replenishment system.

"Mark's is one of the few retailers who have taken control of the supply chain," said Rick E. Gaetz, President and Chief Operating Officer of Vitran Distribution Systems. "They are no longer relying on the manufacturer to be their logistics expert." The re-engineering of the Distribution system within the retail industry is gaining momentum. Vitran expects to continue to play a key role in facilitating distribution changes, creating more cost-effective, efficient solutions which involve joint participation from the vendor, retailer and Vitran as the distribution provider.
