The Challenge
Triple T Transport faced growing demand from its customers for real-time supply chain visibility. The logistics industry required them to bridge the gap for their shipper customers, providing superior service and cost-effective transport solutions. Many large shippers preferred to manage fewer carriers or brokers that brought significant value, rather than a large pool of smaller operations. This necessitated the need for a robust visibility solution to monitor carrier performance and streamline operations.
About The Customer
Triple T Transport is a broker and third-party logistics provider based outside of Columbus, Ohio. They are in the upper half of Armstrong & Associates’ Top 100 list of Domestic Transportation Management and Brokerage firms. Trusted by hundreds of customers, Triple T specializes in providing transportation support for time-sensitive or temperature-sensitive shipments. Their unique position in the logistics industry allows them to serve as both early adopters and subject matter experts for the latest tools and technologies, driving meaningful business value for stakeholders.
The Solution
Triple T Transport began using FourKites, a leading supply chain visibility provider, in 2017. This solution allowed them to offer real-time visibility to their customers, helping them manage the long tail of carriers not part of large, technologically enabled operations. FourKites provided metrics to evaluate carrier performance, eliminating manual processes, reducing costs, and offering machine learning-driven insights. Triple T leveraged their expertise to help different operations adapt to the technology, addressing challenges proactively and providing immense value through improved efficiency and data control.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.
