The Challenge
Optoma Technology faced significant challenges during the pandemic, including skyrocketing freight rates and a lack of a centralized platform for managing shipments. The company relied on overseas agents for bookings, which led to confusion and delays due to manual processes. They needed a freight forwarding partner that could offer competitive pricing and a way to easily track and share shipment information in one central location. Additionally, they required automation for various manual tasks to focus on growing their business.
About The Customer
Optoma Technology, Inc. is the global technology wing of Optoma Group, headquartered in the U.S. The company specializes in creating innovative visual display products, including ProScene projectors and Creative Touch Interactive Flat Panel displays. Optoma's products are known for providing amazing viewing experiences. The company had no platform to manage their shipments before partnering with Shippabo, relying instead on overseas agents for bookings. During the pandemic, they struggled with high freight rates and needed a solution to streamline their logistics and reduce costs.
The Solution
Shippabo provided Optoma Technology with a comprehensive platform to manage their freight forwarding needs. The platform offered competitive rates through an annual fixed rate contract, which helped Optoma control costs and increase savings. Shippabo's platform also centralized communications, allowing both internal teams and overseas partners to access shipment details in real-time. The automation features of the platform significantly reduced manual processes, enabling Optoma to focus on strategic business growth. The platform's quoting and communication features, along with the ability to organize shipments by customized nicknames, provided Optoma with maximum visibility and control over their supply chain.
