Challenge: Our client is a Fortune 500 company that serves as the world's largest supplier of pumps and systems. With over 40,000 employees in 60 countries, the $10. 9 billion company ships their products worldwide to customers. All company locations had their own decision making ability to choose their own transportation provider. In 2009, there were over 400 freight forwarders used worldwide for ocean and air shipments.

Challenge: Our retail client has been operating their logistics network with 5 distribution centers (DC) across the country to support their stores: one main, centralized DC and 4 regional DCs (RDC). Due to the disparity of the warehouse management solutions (WMS) used by all the DCs, there was no real time visibility across the network to manage inventory and outbound orders. Because their operations were centralized at the main DC, they incurred unnecessary transportation and labor costs.

Challenge: One trucking company client implemented Cheetah Freight to intelligently inject technology into their dispatch management process to provide real-time shipment status information to their customers, provide improved decision making tools to P&D dispatchers, and improve the outbound load planning process.

Challenge: Prospective customer was having frustrations with their current provider in regards to performing quality audits, seeing visibility of data, better process to handle exception management and being responsive to their overall needs.

Challenge: Uncertain markets and increased demand volatility have made demand planning difficult for consumer products companies. At the same time, prices of raw materials and fuel have increased making the cost of producing and shipping goods even higher. Our customer's objectives were to improve service levels, decrease costs and improve cash flow by increasing forecast accuracy.

Challenge: Our customer manufactures and distributes private label hand tools and related products which are sold at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and Pep Boys, among others. In 2009, our customer decided to expand visibility to in-store inventories and improve forecasting and customer service.

Challenge: Insight was engaged by a tier 1 wholesaler of convenience store products to help reduce costs and gain efficiencies in the operation.

Challenge: The second largest distributor of wine and spirits in the US, our client operates in a tightly regulated industry with outdated business processes and systems, and was challenged by a lack of visibility to inbound orders from its global vendors and suppliers. In addition, the company's manual order and shipment tracking processes frequently led to significant delays and difficulty in determining accurate inventory levels and expected arrival dates, leading to reactive expediting and additional intra-company transportation moves.

Challenge: An online retailer was growing quickly. Its homegrown warehouse management system (WMS) was error prone and inefficient. The warehouse team was picking orders using just a piece of paper. In order to keep up with the growth and stay true to its commitment to customer service, the company invested in a WMS from HighJump Software. Management was looking for a highly adaptable, comprehensive and automated system that could be quickly implemented to boost efficiency and accuracy.

Challenge: Our client, a large manufacturer of interconnect products, deployed InfinityQS software in its military/aerospace division. The application allows users to conduct extensive comparative quality data analysis throughout the enterprise and across the supply chain.
