Solution	Sensata Technologies chose Kuebix TMS as their transportation management platform. The implementation began with a pilot in 2016 in the Aguascalientes facility in Mexico and the Fort Worth facility in Texas. The pilot was successful and resulted in the launch of Kuebix across all of their Central European sites in 2017. Kuebix TMS is now used for all modes of transportation in the original locations as well as in two additional sites in the USA, two in Bulgaria, one in Malaysia, and in their Antrim facility in Ireland. The company uses Kuebix to rate, book, track and trace standard orders internationally. Order information is automatically populated from their ERP system into Kuebix so that all the information needed for shipping is accurate and instant. Kuebix TMS is also integrated directly with carriers, making it easy for Sensata’s warehouse employees to view real-time, accurate rate information instead of rate estimates.
