The Challenge
Taimen Transport, a North American 3PL, was struggling with manual supply chain processes that were exhaustive and costly. They had to compile data from multiple carriers, LSPs, and other sources, which was a time-consuming process. Creating carrier scorecards based on manual reviews of performance information was another challenge. They were spending an average of two hours daily on check calls alone. Their processes were rigid and could not handle sudden disruptions. They also had trouble integrating with other systems due to outdated processes. All these challenges were limiting their scalability and growth.
About The Customer
Taimen Transport is an established North American 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) provider. They are known for their exceptional cradle-to-grave customer service and focus on areas such as automated creation of carrier scorecards through analytics, real-time data visibility into driver location and status, instant uploading and implementation of digital document management capabilities, and faster payment processing to keep partner relationships thriving. Prior to their partnership with Turvo, Taimen had an exhaustive, costly process for handling each of these tasks. In pursuit of more scalability, Taimen recognized the need for a technology-driven culture of excellence and chose to partner with Turvo.
The Solution
Taimen partnered with Turvo to increase efficiency and enable future scalability. They used Turvo's analytics to understand the financial and accounting details that matter most in a business that faces shrinking profit margins. Document management features within Turvo allowed Taimen to better collaborate with other supply-chain partners and beyond. Turvo Messenger replaced the need for an endless email chain, all while taking advantage of @tagging features that reduce clicks and help people work together more efficiently. The partnership ensured business continuity to future-proof Taimen’s supply chains with robust digital and workflow transformation processes, improved customer service, greater speed of execution and increased visibility across all transactions. They also implemented faster payment processing through automated freight settlement capabilities in Turvo Pay for both ACH and paper check payments.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
