Shifting to digitization to improve order fulfillment
With over 150 products and 25,000 SKUs, the company's supply chain team realized that both the efficiency of their freight management and the visibility of their shipments were key to providing high service levels to their modern trade and general trade customers. The organization was looking to digitize their fulfillment operations (both planning and execution) and unlock the ability to monitor their carriers' performance.
The company prioritized digitization of their supply chain operations to achieve four main goals:
Reduce inefficiencies and manual errors in invoice generation and payment cycles
Generate and manage digital, legally-tenable PoDs, eWaybills, compliance documentation, and multi-party invoices
Get device-agnostic location of consignments and provide visibility to customers through consignee web portal
Monitor and improve their carrier network performance using an analytics-powered dashboard
