What Was the Issue?
Delkor’s manual cargo planning process was not only cumbersome but also error-prone and inefficient. As a result, it wasted valuable time and poorly utilized cargo space, which, in turn, led to unnecessary transportation costs. Furthermore, without a streamlined system in place, the team struggled to plan effectively and allocate resources efficiently.
Key challenges:
- Manual cargo planning: Delkor relied on outdated, manual methods to plan their shipments. Consequently, the process was slow and prone to errors, ultimately delaying the entire logistics operation.
- Underutilized container space: Due to the lack of an efficient optimization tool, Delkor was unable to make full use of available container space. As a result, they were forced to make extra shipments, which contributed to higher transportation costs.
- Resource allocation issues: Without an automated system, the team struggled to allocate resources effectively. This inefficiency led to unnecessary delays and further compounded operational challenges.
