Case Study: Large Logistics Provider achieves automated border-delay monitoring and faster customer alerts with Everbridge Visual Command Center for Supply Chain

Proactively Respond to Delays at Border Crossings

A top-ten global logistics provider with more than 80,000 employees and 1,500 locations faced recurring “choke point” delays at U.S.–Mexico border crossings that threatened just-in-time deliveries. Operations planners were manually checking multiple websites throughout the day, which was time-consuming and risked extraordinary delays going undetected long enough for customers to notice first.

The company integrated U.S. Customs and Border Protection wait-time data into Everbridge’s Visual Command Center for Supply Chain, giving planners at-a-glance border status, route and shipment visualization, automatic alerts when wait times exceed configurable thresholds, and two-way carrier polling. As a result, manual monitoring was eliminated, alerts are immediate, teams can proactively notify customers, and planners have more time and options to respond to supply chain risks.
