Case Study: Lipsey Logistics achieves 20 hours saved per week and improved reporting performance with DataRails

Lipsey Logistics Cuts 20 Weekly Hours of Manual Work and Improves Performance

Lipsey Logistics, a nationwide supplier of emergency relief bottled water and logistical services, faced a time-consuming, error-prone process: monthly Excel commission files for 30 brokers and a weekly fleet performance report (loads, mileage, capacity) were manually cut, pasted and reconciled. The manual consolidation and version-checking consumed countless hours and left little time for analysis, so Lipsey turned to DataRails for a better way.

DataRails connected Lipsey’s spreadsheets to its platform, automatically consolidating, summarizing and publishing commission and fleet reports while the DataRails customer success team supported the rollout. The solution eliminated manual version checks, freed up roughly 20 weekly hours of work, improved data accuracy and gave the CFO and controller the ability to extract new operational insights and monitor performance more effectively.
