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.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
