挑战
Boone Brands, a company with a history dating back to 1942, is known for delivering quality canned products. However, keeping up with the ever-demanding supply chain industry was a challenge. The company needed a solution that could help them save time, contribute positively to their bottom line, and support the growth of their business while mitigating rising freight costs. They also needed a system that could allow them to compare all their carrier rates on one screen to select the lowest cost carrier for each shipment.

解决方案
Boone Brands adopted Kuebix TMS in 2017 to help them manage their logistics and transportation needs more efficiently. The implementation of Kuebix TMS has allowed Boone Brands to compare all their carrier rates on one screen, enabling them to select the lowest cost carrier for each shipment. The company now price compares every shipment with no additional time required. Boone Brands has also taken advantage of Kuebix’s easy carrier integration process, adding a wider variety of carriers to increase price competition. By doing this, they have been able to negotiate additional discounts with their carriers. Other time savers include Kuebix’s built-in BOL creation process and the technology’s ability to import and save customer and product lists, eliminating the need to rekey redundant information.

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.
