TMS Success for a Tire Manufacturer

A Logistics Plus® Supply Chain Success Story!

Providing a Smooth On-Ramp to TMS Success

THE STORY

When the rubber hit the road, a leading off-highway tire manufacturer turned to Logistics Plus to help overhaul its transportation management strategy. The company sought a partner that could deliver a customized TMS platform with managed transportation support and robust audit and payment processes. Despite a few bumps along the way, the journey gained serious traction following a full integration with the client’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

THE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dedicated TMS Implementation: Logistics Plus deployed a customized MyLogisticsPlus™ transportation management system (TMS) tailored to the client’s mostly LTL and truckload freight shipping needs.
  • Global Control Tower: A centralized logistics control tower was established to support and coordinate freight activities as an extension to the client’s in-house team. An automated full truckload freight bidding system was also developed for the client.
  • Freight Audit & Payment Process: LP implemented a robust freight audit and payment solution, ensuring invoices were accurate, compliant, and processed on time—leading to significant cost reductions.
  • Supply Chain Visibility: LP helped integrate itsTMS with customer’s ERP to provide real-time visibility into shipments, allowing the client to process orders, track performance and respond proactively to potential disruptions.
  • Cost Savings & Efficiency: With cleaner data and clearer insight, the client improved efficiency and carrier selection, gained control over logistics spend, and optimized overall transportation performance.
