Case study

Optimize supply chain with NEOLink’s Control Tower

Challenge Summary:

Challenge:

90% of the parts ship from U.S.A., Mexico and Canada to Europe by LCL. The plan is to build a central hub to consolidate LCL shipments into FCL, reducing transportation costs.

The suppliers have less or zero experience with international logistics. Thus, not able to create proper documentation which lead to tremendous delay.

80% of approximately 6,000 shipments per year were required to go by Air instead of LCL to avoid production shut down.

Solutions:

  • Building a consolidation hub in Midwest.
  • Setting up NEOLink’s Control Tower
    • To monitor documentation creation performance of each supplier and getting products delivered on time.
    • View all orders with a comprehensive, easy to use dashboard, in real time. Measure/analyze LCL volume, to build FCL consolidation boxes.
  • Provide training to all suppliers in creating the necessary and proper documents.
  • Coordinate schedules for all overseas shipments.

NEOLink worked with our order processing system. It did not replace them or try to force a square peg solution into a round hole. It was what NEOLink did better than the others in the market—their system flexed to match our system. NEOLink did not go in and say, “This is what we have, like it or not.”

My suppliers have less or zero experience with international logistics. Thus, not able to create proper documentation which leads to tremendous delay.
