What Was the Issue?
Before implementing EasyCargo, NaughtOne faced several logistical challenges, leading to inefficiencies and additional costs:
- No pre-loading visibility: Without a way to visualize shipments before physical loading, NaughtOne struggled with wasted space and inefficiencies.
- Extra charges: Inefficient loading often resulted in extra charges for additional kits, increasing shipping costs.
- Export complications: Incorrect paperwork, delayed shipments, and clients receiving goods in multiple stages were frequent issues.
- Lack of communication: Lastly, the poor coordination between NaughtOne, their warehouse team, and clients led to misunderstandings and delays.
How Did We Help?
EasyCargo provided simple yet effective solutions to NaughtOne’s logistics challenges:
- Load visualization: EasyCargo allowed NaughtOne to see how goods would fit into containers, reducing space wastage.
- Accurate load plans: We enabled NaughtOne to create precise load plans, ensuring that goods were packed optimally. Additionally, that led to saving costs and reducing the need for extra kits.
- Export-friendly documentation: We helped NaughtOne streamline export paperwork, reducing errors and delays.
- Easy sharing: Lastly, load plans could be shared with both warehouse staff and clients, improving communication and ensuring smoother loading and unloading.
What Are the Results?
After adopting EasyCargo, NaughtOne experienced notable improvements:
- Time savings: First and foremost, load planning became faster, which allowed the logistics team to spend less time on manual tasks.
- Cost reduction: They reduced the need for extra kits and avoided wasting space in containers, saving costs in the process.
- Improved export process: With more accurate load plans, export documentation became clearer, reducing errors and delays.
- Better communication: Finally, the ability to share detailed load plans helped improve communication between the warehouse, clients, and logistics providers.
What Does the Client Say About Us?
“The software is really simple to use and manipulate to create an easy load plan. From looking at these plans and our goods, we have tweaked the way we export the goods to make sure we maximize shipping. This is especially the case for shipping containers. When we started to use this program, we could see how much space we wasted. From this, we have now developed crating for export orders. This then maximizes our loading potential and saves costs.
In addition, we can share the EasyCargo deck plans with the warehouse team for easy loading and the client for ease of offloading. We have also used EasyCargo to help secure large contract orders as we can inform the client what they will require for shipping. By using EasyCargo, we can confidently provide clients with the planned kits they want. This can then be used to provide accurate costings. All in all, EasyCargo helps to create a full circle of clarity.”
