挑战
Sika Deutschland 是一家领先的工业粘合剂供应商，在管理其罗森达尔工厂的货运业务方面面临着重大挑战。两个主要问题是运费和准时性，这两者对于满足客户要求都至关重要。作为建筑化学品行业的重量级企业，西卡德国公司不得不将沙子、水泥、石膏等低价原材料运往世界各地，这常常带来物流方面的挑战。由于其产品重且价值低，货运在其总成本中所占比例较高，这使得其运营对价格极其敏感。该公司需要在不影响交货时间表的情况下尽可能便宜地运输货物。任何未能满足交货日期的情况都会导致额外的成本和运营混乱。 Sika Deutschland 还需要一个针对美国市场的货运代理合作伙伴，该合作伙伴了解区域要求并能够提供实时更新的货运状态。
关于客户
Sika Deutschland GmbH 是 Sika 的德国子公司，Sika 是建筑化学品领域的全球领导者，在 100 多个国家设有子公司。该公司专门从事各种工业粘合剂的开发和营销，从用于建筑工地基材准备的自流平填料到工业瓷砖粘合剂。其大部分产品都是沙子、水泥和石膏等低价原材料，在德国的六个工厂生产。尤其是罗森达尔工厂，在将这些重型但低价值的材料运送到世界各地方面面临着重大挑战，这使得其运营对价格极其敏感，并依赖于准时交货。
解决方案
Sika Deutschland 与数字货运代理公司 Flexport 合作，简化其东海岸贸易路线的物流流程。 Flexport 的在线平台为所有信息提供了一个集中位置，使发件人和收件人都可以轻松访问货运详细信息。该平台允许 Sika Deutschland 只处理一次文档，并将它们存储在一个中央位置，参与该流程的每个人都可以访问和审查它们。这大大减少了花在管理任务上的时间。该平台还提供实时货运跟踪，这对于西卡在美国的客户特别有用，因为美国的货运通常需要四到五周的运输时间。该平台还简化了不同时区的海关流程处理。 Flexport 的团队（称为 Flexport Squad）提供以解决方案为导向的支持，了解西卡的具体要求，并不懈地努力解决问题，例如因在港口停留时间过长而产生的高昂仓储费。

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.
