Key Challenges:
Lack of Collaboration
Lack of a single end-to-end digital platform affected collaboration with all stakeholders to manage 50+ sites across India, handling 600+ monthly trips.
Extensive manual follow-ups
Contacting, following up, and negotiating with 30+ transporters through email and phone calls resulted in delays in sourcing vehicles.
Delayed material delivery
Delayed delivery of materials to multiple sites created bottlenecks due to the project-based nature of the work, affecting customer satisfaction.
Manual gate-in/gate-out process
Due to insufficient gate-in and gate-out alerts, the site team had to rely on sending emails to confirm these details.
Inadequate operations visibility
Lack of visibility in the logistics operation, from freight sourcing to bill settlement, caused transparency issues in on-ground activities for the management team.
