Case Study | How did the leading grain enterprise achieve integrated management of transportation data?

Although all industries have entered the stage of informatization and digitization, the technical and management capabilities of enterprises are uneven. As far as transportation is concerned, highly integrated transportation management can bring higher efficiency and further widen the gap with competitors, especially for grain enterprises. The real-time transparency of “order-transportation-ledger management” process, integrated interaction and reasonable planning have a far-reaching impact on the level of digital development of enterprises. Today, we will share with you a case of data integration management in the entire transportation process of a leading enterprise in the grain industry.

Client Introduction

Its business layout covers major grain production regions in China, grasping first-hand grain resources at home and abroad. With branded sales network spreading across the country, all its business units have established an industry-leading position. In addition, it is also a forerunner of digital transformation, and has implemented systems such as SAP, OA, and all-purpose card earlier.

However, under the management mode of those systems, there are still many problems such as isolated information and loose management due to complicated channels. The client hopes to solve the above pain points through the oTMS solution and complete the integrated management of the data in the entire transportation process.
