What Was the Issue?
Before EasyCargo, McLanahan encountered several challenges in load planning, particularly with large and complex equipment. As a result, this process was not only time-consuming but also lacked the precision needed for both domestic and international deliveries. Thus, they were in need of a solution that would improve load volumes, reduce loading times, and provide clear, accurate loading documents. Here are the key challenges they faced:
- Time-consuming load planning: The manual process slowed down their operations and made planning difficult for large equipment.
- Inefficient use of space: Without the right tools, McLanahan struggled to optimize the use of container space.
- Lack of accurate load documents: Sending clear and professional loading documents to clients was challenging without proper visualization.
How Did We Help?
By automating load planning and improving space utilization, EasyCargo enhanced McLanahan’s entire logistics process. Here’s how:
- Automated load planning: EasyCargo replaced McLanahan’s manual process with an automated system, saving time and increasing accuracy. The system now considers factors like weight and the center of gravity, ensuring optimal load placement.
- Optimized load volumes: The software helped McLanahan improve their load volumes by maximizing space in containers and reducing unnecessary shipments.
- 3D load visualization: EasyCargo’s print reports helped McLanahan create professional shipping documents that could be shared with customers, improving communication and providing greater clarity.
What Are the Results?
After implementing EasyCargo, McLanahan experienced significant improvements in both efficiency and communication. As a result, loading times were reduced, and load volumes were optimized, which led to better resource utilization. Furthermore, the software enabled McLanahan to provide clients with accurate and professional loading documents, ultimately enhancing client happiness.
