Case Study: Coatings & Adhesives achieves lower freight costs and greater visibility with Kuebix

Coatings & Adhesives Integrates Order and Tracking Processes with Kuebix TMS to Lower Freight Expense and Gain Visibility

Coatings & Adhesives, a manufacturer of coatings, adhesives and polymers for the printing and graphic arts industries, was facing high freight costs, limited carrier access and poor service from a third-party logistics provider. To reduce freight spend, gain carrier visibility and improve supply chain efficiency, Coatings & Adhesives implemented the Kuebix TMS (integrating their ERP and EDI 214 tracking) in fall 2018.

Kuebix integrated order and tracking processes so CSRs can book loads with a click, view real‑time statuses, and select the best carrier by lane. As a result, Kuebix delivered significant freight savings, reduced order processing time, streamlined audit/payment processes, expanded carrier options and drove market‑driven pricing and better service — even maintaining resilience during disruptions like Hurricane Florence.
