Griffins Foods Ltd have deployed eCargo to raise the bar of transportation efficiency across their supply chain.

As one of NZ's largest branded consumer food companies, they will use eCargo to empower their transportation team's ability to strategise, plan, execute and settle transactions - whilst providing event notification and reporting analysis. With three manufacturing plants and two distribution warehouses across New Zealand, eCargo will enable Griffins to optimise and manage the movement of goods between multiple sites and carriers. This enhances the opportunity for carrier efficiency, providing Griffins with cost savings.

"We see the eCargo technology as a mission critical tool that we will aggressively employ to leverage improvements in our transportation management," says Tom Rosentreter, Supply Chain Manager for Griffins Foods Ltd. "The web-native eCargo system will enable us to partner with carriers and suppliers to gain visibility across our network and improve the movement of goods." Additionally, automating the payment processes will ensure tighter control while reducing manual processes.

In addition to optimisation, load planning, execution, and reporting functionality for all shippers, eCargo will also provide complete web-based carrier functionality, allowing all core carriers to participate - regardless of their technical sophistication.
