A U.S.-based global manufacturer of industrial chemical adhesives needed a technology solution to support a major revision in their approach to managing transportation. This shipper has a complex transportation network, leveraging road transport through truckload, bulk truck, and less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping methods.
Client Challenges
Before engaging with CLX, transportation activities for this shipper were concentrated with a small group of carriers and 3PL’s. Transportation processes were planned and executed on a largely manual basis with limited standardization, visibility, or control across business units and shipping locations. Lack of supporting technology resulted in inefficient processes and limited ability to optimize, control, track and manage transportation costs, in addition to limited visibility to on-time pickup and delivery performance .
The CLX Logistics Solution
The company chose to implement CLX’s Transportation Management System (TMS), powered by e2open, to modernize its shipping practices. With the implementation of CLX TMS, our client can:
Standardize and automate freight planning and execution processes
Establish direct and more effective relationships with their carriers
Automate auditing and settling of freight invoices
Optimize the consolidation of small orders into more efficient shipments
Enable management visibility of freight costs and on-time performance
Identify and target opportunities for cost and service improvements
Results to Date
After one year of utilizing CLX TMS, this business saved $1.5 million, thanks to improvements in:
Mode selection and optimization
Leveraging the TMS carrier network
Direct carrier relationships
Adherence to routing guides
Load consolidations
KPI tracking and analytics
