CPG Eliminates Delays and Theft by Investing at the Border

April 16, 2014

Solution: The CPG company leveraged technology to come up with two solutions:

1. After identifying that delays were occurring at customs, they automated the documentation process through a cloud-based supply chain solution. It could feed data directly into customs to get it signed off quickly and avoid delay.

2. The company invested in geo-location devices to track each truck. If a truck stops for 5 minutes or goes off route, the company is notified immediately.

Results: The company cut down on lost product, ensured fresh quality goods and reduced kidnappings. And its suppliers feel better about driving their trucks.

About the Solution Provider: GT Nexus is the largest cloud supply chain platform of its kind, managing over $100 billion in goods annually. GT Nexus connects physical and financial supply chains for companies in all industries, allowing manufacturers, suppliers, financial institutions and logistics providers to collaborate on a common platform and improve supply chain speed and margins.
