IPR Achieves 30% Time Savings - Case Study

The Company:

Industrial Plastics Recycling specializes in recycling industrial plastic waste and transforming it into reusable materials.

Despite their expertise in recycling, IPR faced significant challenges in managing their logistics due to the absence of a Transportation Management System (TMS). Their quoting and load tendering processes were disorganized, leading to inefficiencies and delays.

Their Challenges:

• Lack of a TMS Platform: IPR had no centralized system for managing logistics, resulting in a chaotic and time-consuming process.

• Inefficient Quoting and Tendering: Their manual methods were cumbersome, leading to slow response times and potential loss of business.

• Need for Organization and Visibility: With several regular vendors and the goal of expanding their customer base, IPR needed a solution that provided better organization and visibility.

Planimatik Implementation and Results:

• Ease of Use: IPR found Planimatik intuitive and easy to use. The initial setup and learning curve were minimal, allowing for immediate adoption.

• Time Savings: creating contacts and loads now takes only a few minutes, saving IPR 30% of the time compared to their previous manual methods.
  
  
• Quote Response: carriers provided quotes 20% quicker, reducing delays and improving turnaround times.

• Enhanced Organization and Visibility: the ability to see all quotes in one location and have them saved was transformative. This feature significantly improved workflow efficiency, enabling IPR to manage their logistics with greater precision and clarity.

Impact on Business:

• Efficiency gains: The streamlined process led to more effective organization, higher efficiency in workflows, and reduced time spent on logistical tasks.
  
  
• Improved provider relationships: faster quote responses and organized load management enhanced IPR’s relationships with their carriers.

• Business growth: With a more efficient logistics process, IPR was better positioned to attract and handle new business, supporting their growth ambitions.
