Nestlé EMENA

The company was facing a number of different challenges. In particular, fuel price volatility impacted the freight price and there was insufficient available capacity on important lanes. Added to this, Nestlé EMENA was experiencing fierce competition across its markets and there were increasing demands from stakeholders to reduce the CO2 impact of transportation activities. Basic tools such as fax, email, phone and Excel were preventing Nestlé EMENA from improving capacity planning, procedure standardisation, transportation visibility and performance analysis.

• Fuel price volatility
• Capacity availability
• Growing competition
• CO2 impact

To tackle these challenges, the organisation adopted cloud-based Transporeon solutions, tightly integrated with its SAP enterprise system and Jaggaer spend-management software. By implementing new standards and simple processes, assisted by state-of-the-art digital tools, Nestlé EMENA aims to fill every pallet and every truck, eliminate empty runs and leverage scale wherever it makes sense.

• Automatic transport assignment
• Time slot management
• Real-time visibility
• Capacity matching
• Resource optimisation
• Optimised unloading
• KPI reporting

This solution will deliver freight cost savings, cut empty runs, reduce truck waiting and turnaround times and cut process costs. Other improvements include fewer penalty and demurrage charges, better resource utilisation due to greater transparency, and higher customer service through lean processes.
