挑战
With the vast amount of data that CTSI was pulling in each day through millions of invoices and bills, they wanted to find a system that could visualize this data for their customers and provide a place where they could track key trends in the shipping industry. They were not able to provide any kind of deep view into transactions and wanted to offer their customers the chance to see what was going on with their bills on a day to day basis. But taking it one step further, they needed a platform that their customers would actively sign into in order to track those trends. For Todd, getting their services personnel on board and regularly checking the data was a must in order to provide the best analytics and data information.
关于客户
CTSI is the world’s largest privately held freight audit and payment services provider, specializing in supply chain management expertise and technology. Each day they process between two and four million freight invoices and, with that amount of data, their customers were interested in reporting and analyzing it. CTSI’s Development Manager, Todd Winton, was eager to find a way to visualize the data so customers could pull key information and trends. After coming to Sisense he found that they could begin to easily visualize data to show shipping trends, provide a deep analysis into customers’ transactions and invoices, and create a system that encouraged team members to login and examine the data.
解决方案
CTSI went through a lengthy process to identify the right vendor for their needs. Eventually they scoured a top ten list of providers and went with Sisense because of how easy it was to implement and how simple it was to embed the tool into their TMS application. After finding they could embed Sisense within their SaaS application they were soon deploying it on a single customer who acted as a guinea pig. Through this, they learned a lot about Sisense and how they could implement it further to gain the best results and the most detailed data for their customers. With Sisense, they also had the option to let their customers design their own dashboards on a higher membership plan. In addition, Sisense allowed CTSI to give their customers a deeper view into the transaction data and provide them with visuals of their bills on a day to day basis by storing invoices in process as well as historical data.

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.

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.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
