Magnus Logistics, a leading logistics service provider in the Baltics, was facing a significant challenge in their operations. With customer expectations constantly evolving in the supply chain and logistics world, Magnus recognized an opportunity to further digitalize operations to improve the level of service offered. A visibility gap existed across their transport operations, for own fleet as well as sub-contracted services. This made it difficult to anticipate delays and impossible to warn customers in advance. Without this information, customer satisfaction could be jeopardized and financial penalties incurred. Furthermore, many large scale customers required shipment tracking of some kind within RFPs, creating an opportunity cost associated with lack of visibility.

To address this challenge, Magnus Logistics implemented a real-time transport visibility platform, Shippeo’s platform. This platform offered Magnus a way to fill the visibility gap and lift overall capabilities to the next level. Real-time location data collected gives Magnus full visibility across their transport operations, including sub-contractors, eliminating the need to manually chase deliveries. This automated freight control process is therefore also much more cost-effective. The platform analyzes the location data collected and uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms, created by an in-house data science team, to provide predictive ETAs with market-leading accuracy and reliability. These are shared automatically with customers in Magnus-branded notifications, ensuring they remain up-to-date with the latest information on their deliveries.

The implementation of the real-time transport visibility platform has helped Magnus become more competitive, directly impacting revenue growth potential, and make it possible for the provider to meet increasing pressure and tracking requirements within RFPs for large shippers. The new service capabilities are contributing towards increased customer satisfaction too, as customers now have a greater insight into each delivery. The objective tracking data makes it possible to optimize performance and manage any subcontractor litigations far more effectively. Overall, the company projects it will reach savings of 30% on freight control costs by end of 2021 and a further 20% by the end of 2022.
