2. CHALLENGES
URSA spent too much time searching for transport providers
This became increasingly difficult and costly, particularly during peak periods
Phone calls and email were used to initiate carrier contact and, subsequently, to negotiate and assign transports
The existing SAP system generated order confirmations but these had to be individually extracted and emailed to the
right carrier
Each production facility used its own local group of carriers, so the company could not benefit from synergies and
scale
SOLUTION
Every part of the URSA organization now uses the Transporeon platform, achieving:
Fully automated transport assignment based on pre-defined conditional and automatic freight calculations that reflect
current contracts and rates – Transporeon Transport Assignment ‘no-touch’ orders
Flexible spot market-based transport assignment, taking advantage of changing market conditions – Transporeon
Transport Assignment ‘best-carrier’ orders
Digital time management of all loading/unloading schedules – Transporeon Time Slot Management
Shipment monitoring and tracking, with transparency and performance measurement – Transporeon Transport
Visibility
Automated report generation and monthly KPI-based carrier evaluation – Transporeon Reporting
RESULTS
EASIER CARRIER SEARCHES
Major improvement to the carrier
search process, particularly for
specialist transports
COST SAVINGS
10% cost reduction with spot
market-based orders; more leverage
in carrier negotiations using
company-wide synergies and scale
MORE CONTROL
Visibility of all planned
loading/unloading; real-time
information about delivery status;
carrier base common to all URSA
production facilities
DETAILED INFORMATION
Easy access to key data; automatic
generation of detailed reports and
evaluations
