The Challenge
Ryder System, Inc. was facing a significant challenge in connecting its supply chain, which included shippers, receivers, carriers, and service providers, in a single network environment. The company was struggling with the silos created by disparate technology and manual processes. The lack of a unified platform was causing inefficiencies and hindering the ease of use of modern, cloud technology for its customers. The company needed a solution that could integrate these disparate systems and processes into a single, efficient, and user-friendly platform.

About The Customer
Ryder System, Inc. is a leading logistics and transportation company. The company operates a complex supply chain that includes shippers, receivers, carriers, and service providers. Ryder was struggling with the challenge of integrating these disparate elements of its supply chain into a single, efficient, and user-friendly platform. The company was seeking a solution that could break down the silos created by disparate technology and manual processes, and offer its customers the ease of use of modern, cloud technology.
The Solution
Ryder partnered with Turvo to address this challenge. Turvo's collaborative logistics platform, RyderShare, was integrated to break down the data silos and enable real-time collaboration across the supply chain. The platform integrated data from multiple Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) into a single, synergistic platform for seamless execution and end-to-end visibility. The network effect of Turvo’s platform allowed users to collaborate in real-time to better manage exceptions and eliminate the inefficiencies of check-calls, rework, and manual data entry that permeated the industry. Turvo aggregated the entire supply chain into a single source of truth, enabling faster speed to market, better customer service, and increased profitability, while maximizing the ROI of existing tech stacks and automating processes.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Jaguar Land Rover Speeds Order-to-Cash Cycle
At Jaguar Land Rover, vehicles physically move around the facility for testing, configuration setting, rework and rectification, leading to a longer search time to get each vehicle to its next process facility. The main goal is to minimize the vehicles' dwell time between end of line and the delivery chain which was previously a manually intensive process. Jaguar Land Rover's goal was to build on the success of an earlier RFID project and improve the efficiency of delivering vehicles to meet dealer orders.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.
