Enhancing Productivity and Customer Service
Blue Diamond Growers experienced a transformation in their supply chain operations by partnering with Project44, SAP, and XpertMinds. The implementation of new features like geofencing, ETA tracking, and exception dashboards resulted in significant productivity gains and improved service delivery. These enhancements not only benefited the company internally but also enabled better communication with their customers, leading to an overall enhancement in customer service.
Cost Savings and Operational Improvements
Through the utilization of Project44's services, Blue Diamond Growers managed to reduce demurrage costs and achieved higher on-time shipping rates for their customers. Moreover, the company saw a remarkable increase in receipt plans, soaring from 60% to nearly 100%. These operational improvements not only streamlined their processes but also contributed to substantial cost savings, with the company reporting $1 million in transportation cost savings.
