Manual tendering processes: Facil's transportation operations were hindered by slow manual tendering processes that resulted in escalating Less-than-Truckload (LTL) costs and intensifying workloads for suppliers.
Lack of inbound shipment visibility: poor visibility to inbound shipments and historic lane data led to higher costs and less efficient operations.
Inefficient carrier selection: Facil's manual routing guide did not factor in shipment cost, leading to higher costs as carrier selection was based solely on geographic location rather than cost-effectiveness.
Solution
Automated tendering drives cost savings:Infios TM (Transport Management) integrated with LTL pricing enabled automated load tendering and allowed Facil to select the lowest-cost carrier based on real-time rates.
Improved visibility and workflow efficiency: real-time location data and visibility into inbound shipments helped Facil improve planning for suppliers and internal users, while enabling proactive measures to mitigate late arrivals.
Reduced carbon impact: Infios TM’s Multimodal Optimization helped Facil identify shipment consolidation opportunities to reduce fuel consumption, total mileage, and overall shipment costs.
