New TMS Saves Time and Money for Harried Customer, Carriers
Challenge: "We had been sold bills of goods by previous TMS vendors," explained one MercuryGate customer. "These on-site systems were tough to integrate, difficult to manage and they simply didn't do what they were supposed to do. Mired in data entry and administration, we fell behind in freight payment. Carriers were screaming; we had seven people working 15 hour days, including weekends…"
Freight Procurement Company Cuts the Fat on Shipping Costs for Food Manufacturer
Challenge: Your company spends millions of dollars on shipping every year, and you know there has to be a better way to manage it. McLeod Freight Management Solutions (FMS) not only devises a shipping plan that promises to cut your shipping costs by 10-20% annually, it also ensures that those savings are delivered. Our client achieved savings at that level while managing freight procurement for two Fortune 500 food manufacturers.
Parts Manufacturer Launches New S&OP Process - Growth & Cash Flow Soar
Challenge: Key inventory planning personnel retired from a parts manufacturer for heavy duty vehicles, and the resulting experience/knowledge void led to costly inventory mistakes.

Over two years, the company launched a new S&OP process to correct its inventory and cash problems.

Optimized Planning Tool Transforms Company, Brings 6x Return on Total Investment
Challenge: Like all manufacturers, our client's value chain behaves in a non-linear fashion influenced by supply chain capacities, straight and over-time labor rates, input/output price curves, etc., making it difficult to focus on the most profitable activities and products. Recently, demand volatility, input price fluctuations with contractual discount curves, retailer pressures, and multiple decision points along the value chain increased the difficulty of conducting business using traditional costing and supply planning tools.
Retailer/Supermarket Company Optimizes Operations via Holistic Approach
Challenge: Integrated optimisation of primary and secondary distribution networks for major retailers and supermarkets represents a very complex supply chain planning problem. Our client has a complex network of distribution centres, consolidation centres and suppliers which delivers a multi-temperature product range to a demanding nationwide customer base. Challenges include tight delivery constraints, complex trunking and consolidation operations, temperature constraints, thousands of vehicle movements and a dynamic ordering profile with variable demands. Before MJC ²'s software was introduced the operation was partitioned into smaller more manageable sections for planning purposes. This led to significant inefficiencies, with poor utilisation of resources and unnecessary empty running.
