Let’s unravel their journey to logistics excellence in our newest customer spotlight!


CUSTOMER CHALLENGES

In the complex landscape of shipping and logistics, this company faced several challenges. They struggled with:

  • No straightforward mechanism for tracking and accessing shipping and carrier data.
  • Relying on a weight-centric transportation management system (TMS), leading to inaccuracies in shipping rates.
  • The manual process of auditing freight shipments.
  • A disjointed Accounts Payable process, resulting in managing carrier invoices via emails, which consumed significant daily man-hours.

The Company Sought:

  • A sophisticated system that offered permissions-based user access, to provide precise operational control.
  • A solution to minimize the repetitive need to access multiple carrier websites due to the absence of consolidated shipping and third-party carrier information.
  • Seamless in-house integration with their SQL-based ERP system.
  • A platform capable of synchronizing with freight carriers from both Canadian and U.S. regions.
