Case Study
A Leading U.S. Poultry Producer Reduces Annual Label Spend by More Than $800,000
Client Overview
The company is the third-largest poultry producer in the United States, with more than 26,000 employees, 2,000+ farm partners and 23 fresh and further-processing facilities across seven states.
That scale translates into extraordinary labeling requirements.
OMNI has supported the customer's thermal label requirements for approximately 18 years.
Following the implementation of a new label contract, the customer requested year-end statistics to quantify its impact. The results revealed something significant: label consumption increased, while annual spend declined.
Key Results with OMNI Systems:
Increase in annual label usage
Decrease in annual label spend
Annual spend reduction
The Challenge
Improving Label Economics at Enterprise Scale
For a producer operating across dozens of processing facilities and multiple market channels, even modest changes in labeling economics can have a substantial financial impact.
The OMNI Solution
Using Scale to Create Better Label Economics
At volumes this large, small improvements in label economics can create significant savings.
OMNI applied its scale as the largest privately owned thermal media provider in the U.S. to help the customer achieve more competitive label costs. Our purchasing volume provides leverage with raw-material suppliers, helping us secure favorable material costs and pass those efficiencies along to customers.
But the opportunity goes beyond material pricing. OMNI looks at the economics of the entire label program to identify ways to reduce total cost while maintaining the quality, consistency and service required for high-volume operations.
The result was straightforward: the customer used more labels while spending significantly less.
Customer Testimonial:
"Any label company can provide labels. But if a problem arises, who responds, and how quickly? With OMNI, the response is immediate. Their team comes on-site, identifies the issue, and fixes it. Their service is impeccable!"

Results
30 Million More Labels. $800,000 Less in Annual Spend.
The year-over-year results demonstrated the financial impact at enterprise scale.
In the 12 months following the new contract, annual label usage increased by more than 30 million labels. Yet annual billed spend decreased by $804,949.
More volume didn't mean more cost.
For a high-volume enterprise label program, that difference represents the value of improving the economics behind the labels, not simply negotiating a lower price per thousand.

Scale Should Work in the Customer's Favor
Enterprise label volume should create an economic advantage, not simply a larger expense.
OMNI combines the purchasing leverage of our scale with a focus on the total economics of the label program to help customers reduce costs, even as their labeling requirements grow.
For this customer, the impact was clear: 5.38% more labels, 14.42% less annual spend, and approximately $800,000 in annual savings.
