Challenges
Offline Transport Operations
Shipments from domestic and overseas warehouses were arranged offline, so execution status depended on manual follow-up with carriers.
No Unified Transport Standard
Each business unit and region followed its own booking and documentation practice, making cross-border shipping hard to control and audit.
Weak Data Sharing
Logistics data was not shared with other departments or suppliers, limiting collaboration and leaving no reliable base for analysis.
Manual Cost Allocation
Freight costs were apportioned by hand across orders, entities and customers, slowing finance close and blurring true logistics cost.
"Moving our logistics online gave us one standard process and one set of data — from shipment execution all the way through to cost allocation."
