Case Study: a Fortune 500 fashion brand achieves $1.3 million in annual savings with Acuitive Solutions

Fortune 500 Company Learns That Faster Can Be Cheaper

The customer, a Fortune 500 fashion brand, was spending over $15 million annually on global expedited shipments. Their challenge was a non-dynamic routing process that used a simple 50-kilo rule to choose between parcel and air freight. They sought a global transportation management system (TMS) from Acuitive Solutions to automate this process and better leverage their data for cost savings.

Acuitive Solutions implemented its cloud-based global TMS to automate routing based on purchase order attributes, factoring in costs like customs clearance. The solution improved visibility, protected parcel account codes, and enabled dynamic carrier selection. This resulted in a shift of many shipments from freight forwarders to parcel carriers, facilitating yearly savings of $1.3 million for the fashion brand. Acuitive Solutions also delivered an incremental $200,000 in annual savings through dynamic carrier choice alone.
