How UB1 improved its efficiency through consolidation
UB1 is a logistics company that provides a wide range of services, including warehousing, distribution, transportation, and cargo handling.
Challenges
The main transport arteries of the logistics network, the trunk routes, often suffer from underloading, which leads to inefficiency and increased costs. This problem arises from several factors: Unstable cargo volumes: Fluctuations in transport volumes can lead to empty spaces on trunk routes, wasting valuable capacity. Limited visibility: Without access to real-time information on shipment patterns and available capacity, it is difficult to optimize route planning and efficiently fill empty spaces. Lack of collaboration: Inconsistent communication between shippers, carriers, and logistics companies hinders collaboration and the ability to consolidate cargo between different parties.
Solution
UB1 found a powerful tool to combat underutilization of long-haul routes through its membership in the CONSOLID.ai consolidation platform. By gaining access to CONSOLID's extensive network of participants, UB1 discovered a range of potential freight partners. CONSOLID.ai's intelligent algorithms seamlessly match UB1's spare capacity with other participants' cargo, filling those empty spaces and generating much-needed revenue. This solution is mutually beneficial for both UB1 and its partners: UB1 maximizes cargo space utilization while reducing costs and environmental impact. Partner companies gain access to reliable and efficient air freight options. The transparency and collaboration facilitated by the CONSOLID.ai platform ensure seamless communication and effective coordination, improving the process and exceeding expectations. By leveraging the power of collaboration and intelligent matching, UB1 has overcome the challenges of underutilization, paving the way for a more profitable and sustainable future.
Results
UB1's collaboration with Consolid.ai has yielded impressive results in various aspects of their operations. Membership on the platform has significantly optimized core routes, as empty spaces have been filled through intelligent matching. This led to an increase in cargo volume and a reduction in costs, as well as minimizing UB1's environmental impact. In addition, UB1 saw a sharp increase in users of its warehouse services as companies took advantage of the combined network and optimized logistics solutions. It is worth noting that UB1 successfully ensured stable cargo collection throughout the Western region during consolidation, overcoming potential problems and demonstrating the platform's effectiveness for geographically distributed operations. These tangible results confirmed the value of collaboration and intellectual comparison, ensuring UB1 a successful future and competitive advantage in the market.
