A leading manufacturer of highly customised injection moulding machines, with a modern manufacturing facility in India, has been serving diverse industries such as automotive, construction, and medical for decades.
For this manufacturer, timely delivery and damage-free transport are critical KPIs. Managing over 2,500 trips annually, the logistics team sought a digital-first approach to streamline procurement, reduce costs, and ensure seamless transporter collaboration, making logistics efficiency a core part of their operations.
Freight Cost Savings
(up to 15% in peak periods)
Faster Vehicle Finalisation Time
Higher Vehicle Availability
Transparency and Collaboration
Manual negotiations lacked real-time benchmarking, resulting in high freight costs depending on availability and timing of the shipment.
Vehicle requisitions were shared manually via email with 7 registered transporters, taking 2–5 minutes per mail and extending finalization to 2–3 hours, sometimes even a full day.
Handling heavy and ODC manually created dependence on a limited vendor base, increasing risks of damage, delays, and safety lapses.
The manual email-based tendering process left no structured record keeping, making it difficult to conduct compliance checks and track transporter accountability.
SuperProcure enabled rate transparency and access to average historical freight rates for repeated lanes, strengthening negotiations, achieving 10–15% cost savings with peak 15% savings in the first half of each month.
SP Spot Module allowed dispatch teams to post new or modified requests in under 2 minutes and finalize vehicles within 15 minutes, achieving 85% faster cycle times and enhanced responsiveness across ~200 trips monthly.
With SuperProcure, only pre-registered and vetted transporters with proven ODC handling experience could participate in auctions, enhancing transporter accountability, safety compliance, and operational reliability across 200+ monthly trips.
The digitised platform offered tendering, generating automated audit trails and centralised visibility of allocations, freight rates, and transporter performance, strengthened management oversight and control.
