Case Study: Globe Electric achieves cost and time savings with Flexport

Globe Electric Generates Cost & Time-Savings with Flexport’s Technology

Globe Electric, a Canadian lighting and electrical company, needed better visibility and control across its supply chain. Before working with Flexport, the team struggled with long email chains, outdated spreadsheets, and limited real-time information, making it difficult to track shipments, communicate timelines, and coordinate with more than 30 suppliers.

Flexport provided Globe Electric with a technology platform for logistics, customs, and purchase order management, centralizing documents and shipment data in one place. With Flexport, Globe improved forecasting, reduced out-of-stocks, streamlined customs handoffs, and kept priority containers moving during supply chain disruptions. Processes that once took four to five hours now take 10–15 minutes, delivering both time and cost savings without adding overhead.
