The Challenge
An Enterprise CPG shipper that manufactures cleaning products was looking for ways to cut costs while streamlining internal and external operations within their supply chain.
Ultimately, the CPG shipper found it incredibly challenging to collaborate across stakeholders and nearly impossible to identify responsible parties for service failures, let alone understand the monetary impact of those failures. Because of this, the shipper had difficulty measuring overall performance and how they managed the relationship between service and cost. As a result, the company spent countless hours every week reconciling data with their carrier partners to measure performance, lost millions of dollars to unjust retailer chargebacks, and made ill-informed procurement decisions due to a lack of trustworthy information during RFP season.
The shipper realized that in order to make smarter procurement decisions, lower penalty exposure, and better identify network inefficiencies, they needed to be able to connect their disparate datasets and validate the data with their carrier partners.
