Global supplier reduces LTL spend by 12%

The Challenge

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.

The 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
