挑战
A multinational industrial goods company faced challenges in delivering supply chain products to their customers, often within 24 hours’ notice. The volume, timing, and destination of these products were often unpredictable. The company also had to retrieve the products from their customers’ locations and then dynamically route them to servicing centers, stocking locations, or other customers’ operations. Traditional RFPs were not suitable for their operations due to the unpredictable volume requirements and lane pairings. Turning to the spot market for thousands of loads was unsustainable in the long run, requiring immense administrative effort and cost.
关于客户
The customer is a multinational industrial goods company that provides supply chain products and services critical to the business operations of leading manufacturers and retailers worldwide. The company operates a complex supply chain, often needing to deliver products to their customers within 24 hours’ notice. The volume, timing, and destination of these products are often unpredictable. The company also retrieves the products from their customers’ locations and dynamically routes them to servicing centers, stocking locations, or other customers’ operations.
解决方案
The company enabled Convoy’s Dynamic Backup API in their transportation management system (TMS). This provided access to instant, elastic capacity at competitive market rates in their routing guide without leaving their TMS and turning to cumbersome spot auctions. As soon as shipments were added to their system, the company could get an instant quote, lock in the price, and snap up a truck. Instant coverage was always one click away as soon as they knew their dedicated and contract carriers couldn’t accept additional loads. Rates for known and new lanes were readily available, eliminating the hassle of contacting and waiting on multiple carriers for contract or spot rates.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
