Reduce Costs with Planimatik's Solutions - Case Study

About our client

Challenges

• Time-consuming on manual tasks, ie. sending emails to every single provider, reviewing email responses one by one, and searching per file in an endless list of the name of the operation to check status and input updates.
• Surprises in payments due to poor communication with carriers.
• Disorganized data and lost documentation in long threads of emails and project details. 

Cost-saving solutions with Planimatik 

• Cost-savings: Planimatik strengthens relationships with shipping providers, knowing how much will cost the transportation; the company has reached 30% of cost savings thanks to full visibility of all quotes, including the ones that require special equipment, so, having this information during the bidding process and with the Planimatik bid feature, one can see details of costs and expenses before you close the deal.
  
  
• Time-savings: Planimatik, being an all-in-one platform allows to reduce to at least 50% time and efficiency.
  
  
• Documentation: Planimatik plays an important role as a repository of information, with its historical data feature it is possible to see how much providers were charging for the load transportation, it saves dates, miles, prices and contact information so we are more knowledgeable about the entire operation.
  
  
• Simple visibility: Now, whether it’s me or my clients, don’t have to wait until the shipment arrives at its right location, with the list view -and you can choose your view, if you want to see it like a list or like a calendar- you can see updates, miles covered and basically, track the shipment while is in process, so it gives peace of mind to be able to see carriers’ compliance. With this visibility, you can see which transactions are still open and understand notifications easily.
  
  
• Stats and analytics: With the Planimatik Dashboard we can make better decisions thanks to clear visualizations, information in context and reports of operations so we don’t have to wait until the end of the month to see our performance. Stats help to understand cost per mile, and total paid and with that, create better opportunities for further choices.
