Lower transportation costs
optimize your end-to-end supply chain
improve customer satisfaction
Reduce unnecessary demurrage and detention fees through prioritizing exceptions, managing required documents and getting ahead of congestion or delays.
Poor communication between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers can result in missed or delayed deliveries. Poor communication with procurement and suppliers can mean incomplete orders. These types of miscommunication about delivery dates, times, or even product can lead to confusion and frustration for customers.
Inefficient routing can lead to increased transportation costs, fines and fees or longer delivery times. All of which can negatively affect customer satisfaction. Retailers commonly use modes like ocean freight, which can be timely but a good way to transport your products from international manufacturers to the US for distribution. By looking at historical performance and optimizing delivery routes, retailers can help reduce transportation costs and ensure timely deliveries.
Receive alerts for containers that are (or soon will be) incurring demurrage and detention fees to minimize their impact on transportation costs and proactively manage customer satisfaction.
Comprehensive dashboards allow users to understand performance trends by lane, carrier, stop, time periods and more. Identify systemic problems, continuously enhance operations and improve strategic decision making.
