Featured Success Story

KPM Exceptional Reduces Average Delivery Time from 6 Days to 1

KPM Exceptional, a regional outdoor and lawn care equipment manufacturer, relies on Tighe to deliver orders to its dealer network throughout New England. Tighe has helped KPM reduce LTL shipment times from 6 days to just 1 day, increasing service levels across the dealer network. Tighe provides the ultimate flexibility as volume and inventories shift and change at KPM, and the executive team at Tighe meets regularly with KPM to help them manage through the dynamic changes that happen — from seasonal shifts to new dealer delivery updates.

“A smooth running operation has schedules and standard operating procedures, but as with anything, there are always exceptions. When we need something special or unexpected, Tighe jumps right in and makes it happen. That’s what sets Tighe apart: their customer service is a level beyond.”
– Jesse Hellyer, VP of Operations at KPM Exceptional
