GSC Logistics Challenge
At the time, GSC was doing complicated shipping route calculations in google sheets. They had to account for a variety of different products such as length of the truck, what kind of load is on the truck, if there are any tolls etc. This was a manual process and required very specialized people to get the calculations done correctly.
The Solution– Financial Flexibility. Meeting the customers needs on their terms.
- We leveraged a multi phase engagement, to deliver critical needs first and nice to have items second.
- We worked together with the in house team to help keep cost down.
- The total time taken to complete the implementation was 6 months, due to customer budget constraints.
The Results – Accuracy & Success. The specific needs for GSC included several advanced calculations and a complex network of pricing variables.
- The project stayed on budget.
- Phase 1 & 2 were finished on time.
- In working together for this project, the in house team was able to take over the system by the end of the project.
