What Was the Issue?
Before using EasyCargo, NuAire faced several challenges with its container shipment planning. These issues slowed down their operations and created inefficiencies. Here are the key problems they encountered:
- Time-consuming manual calculations: Planning shipments required rulers, hand-drawn diagrams, and repeated measurements, which often took hours to complete.
- Inaccurate and inconsistent results: Any changes in orders meant starting calculations from scratch, eliminating costly mistakes leading to errors and delays.
- Poor visualization tools: Without a proper way to visualize container layouts, sharing shipment details with customers and vendors was difficult. Miscommunication was common.
How Did We Help?
EasyCargo transformed NuAire’s shipment planning process by automating container volume calculations and providing accurate, consistent visualizations of container layouts. Here’s how:
- Centralized product database: We enabled NuAire to store consistent product dimensions, eliminating manual calculations and ensuring precise volume assessments.
- Quick 3D visualizations: EasyCargo allowed NuAire to generate clear, three-dimensional container layouts within minutes, making communication with customers and vendors way easier.
- Real-time updates: Changes to shipment plans could be quickly adjusted without involving multiple departments, saving hours of manual work.
- Error reduction: EasyCargo eliminated common mistakes by automating the calculations, preventing wasted container space or unexpected shipping issues.
EasyCargo optimized NuAire’s efficiency and significantly reduced manual effort across teams.
What Are the Results?
Since implementing EasyCargo, NuAire has experienced significant improvements in its shipment planning process. What once took hours of manual calculations and coordination now takes minutes. EasyCargo has not only saved time but also improved the accuracy of every shipment, resulting in better communication with customers and vendors. As a result, NuAire has been able to reduce costs and optimize its operations.
What Does the Client Say About Us?
“When planning container shipments, we previously spent hours manually calculating space with a ruler and newly gathered dimensions for each proposed shipment. As a result, the process was not only time-consuming but also led to inaccurate and inconsistent results. Additionally, after providing a piece of information to our customers, they would often ask follow-up questions, forcing us to rework all the numbers and images repeatedly.
However, with EasyCargo, we now have an easy-to-use platform that simplifies the entire process. The software houses a database of consistent product dimensions and translates them into volume calculations with associated images. As a result, all parties can now visualize each container’s capacity in a single transaction with ease. Furthermore, within minutes, we can generate accurate images of container capacity using EasyCargo’s product dimensions database. This, in turn, allows us to effortlessly share 3-dimensional views of each container shipment with our vendors and customers, ensuring everyone involved can clearly see the actual layouts and capacities.”
