Case Study | Cruise Control | Forestry

Solution

Based on these requirements, an individualized Cruise Control setup was configured:

• Tracking & Tracing: Customized dashboards provide transparency; individual monitoring rules allow the company to proactively manage deviations. Alert Mails provide early information on the achievement of milestones or deviations in the transport process.
• Buyer scenario: A role-based access concept allows customers of our customer a pre-filtered dashboard view defined previously. In this way, buyers can view and monitor shipments that are relevant to them. This reduces the communication efforts of the company with its customers.
• The Document Management bundles all shipment related documents centrally in one place. This allows easily coordinating and exchanging of, e.g. Bill of Ladings, packing lists or commercial invoices with customers and agents. At the same time, the communication effort and error proneness are reduced significantly.

• Media upload for quality control: The ability to provide photos and video clips on Cruise Control allows our customer to monitor container-loading processes at the warehouse transparently.
• Since the introduction of an online reporting tool based on real-time data, the Control Tower in Cruise Control, our customer has access to detailed reports in order to measure strategic objectives and performance-related KPIs.
