挑战
Master Magnetics, a company that manufactures and distributes magnets and magnetic devices, was facing challenges in their logistics operations. They had no previous experience with a Transportation Management System (TMS) and were initially uninterested in adding technology to their operations. The company ships roughly 500 – 600 pallets worth of magnets each month to retailers, resellers, wholesalers, and distributors nation-wide. Some of their products are still in their raw form and others are pre-packaged and ready for resale. The logistics team ships between 40 – 50 LTL shipments each day. The company was looking for a solution that could help them realize significant financial ROI by leveraging technology while simultaneously saving time rating and booking freight.

解决方案
Master Magnetics decided to implement Kuebix as their TMS after discovering all of the time and money saving benefits the technology could bring them, and subsequently pass along to their customers. Users of Kuebix TMS can easily connect any of their negotiated carrier rates to quickly and efficiently compare service levels, lane options and prices. This saves users significant time by eliminating the need to switch between carrier websites. It also encourages carriers to be more competitive to continue to win their customers’ business. In addition to Kuebix’s rating, booking, and tracking functionality, Master Magnetics' team leverages the technology’s Reports and Dashboards feature to access analytics on their logistics operations. Now, they can look directly into a specific lane to evaluate whether it is profitable or not, and if not, make strategic changes to improve efficiency.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

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.
