The Challenge

A leading global plastic manufacturing firm faced significant logistical challenges when it came to scheduling and coordinating across suppliers and customers. Their scheduling processes were time-consuming, unpredictable, and lacked real-time visibility. This resulted in inefficiencies, delays, and increased labor costs, especially on the receiving side.

Results After Implementing Logistics Scheduling Software:

After adopting an advanced scheduling solution, the company transformed its logistics operations. Key features like Auto Scheduler, real-time dock supervision, and analytics enabled quick, informed decision-making. As a result, the firm experienced a 33% reduction in labor for receiving operations, a 25% reduction for IMS Clerks, and a 50% improvement in receiving inbounds processing time, reducing it from 24 hours to 12 hours. This led to enhanced warehouse productivity and a reduction in overall on-shift time, driving long-term efficiency and growth.
