挑战

Kaufman Container, a leader in the packaging industry, faced challenges in controlling shipping costs and communicating directly with carriers. The company relied on industry published static tables for pricing and lacked a single system for visibility and control of freight movement and audit reporting capabilities. Additionally, Kaufman wanted to improve its ability to measure and monitor productivity. The company sought a web-based solution that incorporated general business rules, accommodated multiple service types, and used the terminology they commonly used.
