One crucial way to ensure you are even more proactive with customers is by using the latest predictive real-time visibility technologies. Kingspan recognises how fast Transporeon and Sixfold are adapting to market needs and sees the value of utilising real-time visibility to improve operations and customer relations, helping to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Transporeon and Sixfold’s integrated services solution will play a central role in Kingspan meeting its goals of improved transparency over the delivery process, giving added-value to customers and improving the overall customer experience. We are also very excited to be part of the largest visibility-enabled network that Transporeon and Sixfold are creating!”

Kingspan Group
The Kingspan Group is always looking for opportunities to better serve its customers. It faced the challenge of transparency over its delivery process, as well as:
Kingspan integrated the real-time visibility solution from Transporeon and Sixfold to gain full overview of its supply chains, connect all its carriers to one platform and enhance its reputation with customers. The Sixfold solution included:
Fast onboarding and adoption
200 carriers onboarded in phase one of the pilot. 59% carriers were onboarded in the first three days, 68% within seven days, and by two weeks 82% of Kingspan’s carriers were onboarded. 8,000 transports were tracked via the Sixfold platform in the first five months of the project. The aim is to track more than 50,000 transports in a year.
High carrier compliance
Over 80% carrier compliance despite the fragmented carrier landscape. Further expansion of the service will see Kingspan connecting with more carriers with the same high level of carrier compliance.
Successful management of subcontractors
Over 200 connected carriers, including a significant share of sub-carriers and more flexibility to collaborate with other carriers as they all use the same technology. The more carriers that are onboarded, the higher the coverage on subcontractors.
Single-sign-on processes and workflows
Access to the largest visibility enabled network created by Transporean and Sixfold and benefiting from the partnership, including ease of access to log into and switch between Transporeon and Sixfold, such as single-sign-on (SSO) between Transporeon and Sixfold and the Sixfold tile on Transporeon web start page for easy access.
