Case Study: CDS Transportation Inc. achieves $120,000 a year in lease savings and improved on-time deliveries with Axon Software

We Cut $120,000 a Year From Our Lease Costs and Still Maintained on-time Deliveries

CDS Transportation Inc., a 56‑year‑old regional carrier, was running dispatch and daily operations on paper and spreadsheets, making equipment tracking and communication inefficient. To modernize, CDS chose Axon Software’s integrated dispatch and fleet management solution to move to a real‑time, desktop‑accessible system.

Axon Software implemented a unified dispatch board and back‑office integration that everyone in the office can access, improving communication and reporting. As a result, CDS cut a customer’s trailer pool from 20 to 10, reduced leased fleet costs by about $10,000/month (roughly $120,000/year), shortened payroll processing (one person now completes driver payroll in ~3 days vs. two people in 4–5 days), and significantly improved on‑time delivery tracking and customer reporting.
