Key Challenges:
Delayed Vehicle Placement
Manual vehicle sourcing of 450+ vehicles caused a substantial time loss and delayed vehicle placement, as the team diligently engaged in continuous follow-ups and rate negotiations with transporters at every location.
Time-consuming Gate-in/Gate-out
The vehicle gate-in and gate-out process relied on manual register entries, which subsequently required the audit team to meticulously verify each entry manually.
Inadequate Shipment Visibility
Tracking vehicle ETA via manual phone calls from transporters became particularly challenging, especially for shipments destined for South India, which typically took around 7-8 days to reach their destination.
Tedious Freight Billing Process
POD hardcopies were collected, manually scanned, and processed at the end of each month leading to confusing and prone to delays, and strained relationships with transporters for freight settlement.
Improper Documentation and Reporting
Collating & analyzing freight cost & transporter performance data manually caused approval delays, limited insights, & inadequate audit trails.
