Case Study How a Heavy Machinery Giant Achieved 15% Freight Cost Savings and Lightning-Fast Vehicle
Table of Content : For decades, the boardroom conversation about logistics was brief, and usually painful: “It costs
Reduce freight cost volatility, improve plant turnaround, and deliver consistent OTIF across inbound and outbound movements
Captures the complete logistics cycle from inbound raw material movements to outbound finished goods deliveries
Frequent priority shifts, urgent dispatches and last-minute order changes disrupt outbound planning and impact OTIF. SuperProcure keeps deliveries on track through real-time reprioritisation, predictive alerts, and 25% faster vehicle finalisation.
SP Spot, SP Tracking
Fluctuating rates and inefficient loading across inbound and outbound movements push up freight per ton and reduce cost predictability. SP Spot optimises every trip through real-time quotes, transparent e-bidding, and load optimisation.

Freight often runs on verbal commitments or inconsistent rate references, causing leakages, disputes, and slow billing validation. SP Indent Allocation ensures every indent follows the right contract with instant deviation checks.
SP Indent Allocation
Inbound vehicles face unloading queues (demurrage), while outbound loads wait for dispatch (detention), slowing operations and increasing penalties. SP In-Plant Logistics digitises yard movement and provides predictive visibility to keep vehicles moving.
SP In-Plant Logistics
Inbound shipments (ore, coal, scrap, billets) and outbound final goods deliveries lose visibility once in transit, creating uncertainty, SLA failures, and risk of theft or diversion. SP Tracking delivers 100% live visibility across the entire network.
SP Tracking
Inbound trips undergo multiple weighments, while outbound trips face POD loss, claim disputes, and invoice mismatch, delaying financial closure. SP Freight Accounting and SP ePOD automate end-to-end validation for faster financial closure.

Metal plants run on siloed teams and fragmented ERP–logistics communication, slowing both inbound and outbound execution. The SP TMS unifies logistics, dispatch, and finance with deep ERP integrations.
