Operational Impact
With the logistics analysis service in place, Dawn Foods and e2open developed a roadmap for the role that was a combination of system setup, system efficiencies and report generation tasks to support Dawn Foods’ business. | |
Following the roadmap with e2open, Dawn Foods streamlined the freight-building process by implementing several automated execution and optimization functions within the TMS, significantly reducing the time required by Logistics Planners to plan orders and build loads. | |
Truckload utilization resupply and customer orders are key initiatives for Dawn Foods’ Transportation and Supply Chain teams. With the truckload utilization data and analysis provided by the logistics analysis service, Dawn Foods can measure the financial impact of underutilized loads and address any adjustments needed to realize improvements across the company’s shipping network. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Mitigation of rate impacts by identifying transportation lanes with an unplanned increase in rates through weekly KPI reporting on spot market usage, routing guide compliance and tender acceptance. | |
Using data from e2open’s rate benchmarking tool, Dawn Foods can identify benchmark rates and quickly query its carrier network for rate quotes to eliminate or reduce the impact of each lane. | |
