    Putting a Centralized Platform in the Fast Lane

    MARKET: AUTOMOTIVE, LARGE NORTH AMERICAN SHIPPER & GLOBAL IMPORTS

    This automotive manufacturer’s transportation network consisted of fragmented teams focused on individual business units including parts, inbound, outbound, and an in house 3PL/brokerage. They were looking for a solution to centralize planning, provide visibility to their entire supply chain, and drive efficiencies for their North American operation.

    THE CHALLENGES

    • Decentralized transportation management strategy
    • Outdated TMS and manual processes
    • Limited visibility due to disconnected data sources
    • Inaccurate freight audit and payment methods that increased costs

    THE SOLUTION

    RedwoodConnect™ was utilized for integrating disparate technologies across the supply chain including ERP, WMS, TMS, and 3rd party applications. Through OTM, Redwood was able to implement a solution that provided a centralized platform for planning across all modes and business units for both inbound and outbound parts, as well as the internal 3PL.
