The First Use of a Combined Value Auction for Transportation Services
Abstract
Sears, Roebuck and Co. is one of the largest procurers of trucking services in the world through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sears Logistics Services (SLS). SLS controls supply chain elements that originate at the vendor (manufacturer) through distribution centers to retail stores, and from vendor to distribution centers to cross dock facilities. This case examines a major change in the method Sears used in contracting for truckload carrier services for this supply chain. It provides a pioneering example of complex business to business e-Commerce.
