Cummins Accelerates Shipment Processing, Gains Real-Time Visibility with Logistyx Multi-Carrier Shipping Software
The Challenge
For global shippers like Cummins, managing huge numbers of global and local carriers can be extremely challenging and time consuming. Cummins had difficulty managing carrier information and shipment specifications. Producing shipping labels and transmitting shipping information according to each carrier’s specifications was a complex and time-consuming process. Cummins needed to take control of their shipping, streamline operations and improve warehouse efficiency.
The Solution
Cummins chose Logistyx Technologies’ multi-carrier shipping software to streamline operations. Logistyx software provides real-time production of shipping labels and carrier documents, performs shipment consolidation and freight calculations and produces event tracking data, all of which has helped Cummins.
The Results
- Process times have been reduced and labeling errors
rarely occur since introducing real-time label printing. - Tracking events are automatically downloaded from
carrier servers. The Cummins team now have full
visibility on the latest status of every shipment, which
allows them to share status information with their
customers and improve the service they provide to
them. - Cummins has gained the ability to monitor freight costs and
check the accuracy of carrier freight invoices. - Actual freight costs are now added to the sales invoice as a result
of Logistyx’s real-time freight cost calculations, making invoicing
a much more efficient process.
