CP is putting the pieces together to leverage a better network
After building a better foundation, i.e. lower-cost base and better service, CP has
begun putting the pieces together to profitably grow its revenue base. A key piece,
in our view, was the appointment of John Brooks as CMO in February, 2017. In the
2.5 years prior to John's appointment as CMO, Keith Creel was largely responsible
for overseeing sales and marketing at CP. At the same time, however, Creel was
acting COO and being groomed to be Hunter Harrison's replacement. Combined
with the major task of turning around North America's least profitable railroad, its
easy to see how marketing/sales efforts largely went by the wayside. In addition
to John's appointment as CMO, these efforts have been reinvigorated through a
number of initiatives:
• Trip Plan - Introduced in late 2016, Trip Plan allows customers to
track shipments on a car by car basis thereby eliminating inefficiencies
and increasing delivery accuracy. This service helped drive on-time
performance above 90% in 2016 (well above industry avg).
Enhanced intermodal offering - CP recently opened its transload facility
in Vancouver which helps steamship lines more efficiently manage their
containers. Transload facilities enable the interchange of commodities
to different rail cars / containers. This allows CP to utilize a steamship's
containers for inland originating traffic destined for ports, thereby
reducing costs to its customer by eliminating transportation costs
on empty containers. To this point, empty export containers out of
Vancouver are up over 40% ytd through September.
Expanding sales/marketing footprint - CP announced just last month
that it is expanding its sales and marketing presence in Asia. Positions
are being added in China and Singapore to expand business with
current customers and attract new ones. This follows a number of
other announcements over the past several months aimed at improving
CP's product/market reach through increased communication with its
customers.
• Dedicated Train Program - Introduced during the 2014/15 crop year,
CP's Dedicated Train Program (DTP) allows its customers to control
