Welcome

Dear Vendor or Carrier Partner:

Welcome to Ingram Micro’s North American Routing Guide, Spring  2011 Edition.

This edition of our routing guide provides updates to our carrier lane assignments primarily for domestic US freight.  New instructions for international direct to customer shipments have been added as well as updated contact and appointment setting information for carriers and several sites in our network.

Ingram Micro is constantly looking at ways to improve the way we do business with and for all of our partners. The changes in this routing guide and in our procedures are with the goal of facilitating efficiency across the entire channel, from your manufacturing plants to our distribution network and on through to the solution providers and end-users around the world.

In this environment of continued increasing reliance on data to drive supply chain efficiencies, Ingram Micro will continue to  focus on the inbound logistics data referenced in this guide. Vendors and carriers should expect increased focus on data quality, timeliness, and compliance to specification. The transition to new carriers in certain lanes is immediately effective. However, Ingram Micro understands that this may disrupt vendor shipping operations, and will deploy a grace period for required compliance to the new carrier lane assignments.  Therefore, utilization of the prior authorized carrier in a lane will not incur non-compliance charges until April 1, 2011.

Ingram Micro will continue to make ongoing enhancements to this guide and the date of the most recent update is reflected on this home page

Again, please take time to review the guide thoroughly. If you have any question, please contact your Ingram Micro Vendor Business Manager or send on email to Andrew Burke in our Logistics and Transportation Department.
 

Sincerely,

Jeffrey N. Johnson

Vice President Logistics & Transportation

*Failure to comply with the provisions contained in this guide is considered a breach of our agreement and will result in non-compliance charges being assessed as outlined under Non-Compliance Charges in this guide.
