Integrating Shipping and Compliance Saves Conglomerate Millions

Challenge: A U.S. multinational had 14 manufacturing sites in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Each site booked transportation using a carrier-specific terminal and website, which resulted in a multitude of site-specific and carrier-specific shipping systems. Consequently, the company lacked centralized visibility for shipment movements and transportation spend.

How a Consumer Goods Giant Upped Its On-Time Delivery Performance

Challenge: A consumer goods company was missing on-time, in-full delivery targets and incurring additional transportation costs because of delayed deliveries from distribution centers, stock-out problems, and a lack of data to track OTIF targets.

Challenge: A logistics service provider needed a smart and flexible platform for a new global client: an industrial manufacturer for the marine and energy sectors with complex aftermarket services.

Control and Compliance Deliver $4.2 Million in Savings

Aptos Order Management Supports 70% Sales Increase for Footwear Retailer

And without a best-in-class order management system, the high cost of shipping online orders was eroding profitability.
