The Challenge
A Global 50 Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) company had no system in place for real-time monitoring of inventory in-transit, leading to late or non-delivery for customers. Inaccurate Estimated Time of Arrivals (ETAs) reduced cross-docking efficiency. Manual check calls to carriers, drivers, and customers were time-consuming and error-prone.
The Customer

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)

About The Customer
The customer is a Global 50 Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) company that averaged 25,000 North American truck shipments per month. They had a new cross-docking network but struggled with inaccurate ETAs and lack of real-time information.
The Solution
Savi implemented Savi Visibility™, an in-transit tracking and ETA solution. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and telematics feeds were collected from truck carriers, and a feed was set up with the CPG's Transportation Management System (TMS). Savi's machine learning platform used AI to predict ETAs accurately. The Savi Visibility user interface provided real-time status and predictive alerts. ETAs and alerts were sent to users and the ERP system for synchronization.
Quantitative Benefit
  • The CPG company achieved a 22% improvement in cross-docking efficiency, a 17x increase in ETA accuracy, and gained 350+ hours/week productivity per transportation lane. They were able to reduce safety stock and improve customer satisfaction through actionable insights and accurate shipment ETAs.
