Case Study: Monarch Global Brands achieves $279K in savings and streamlined automated shipping with Kuebix TMS

Monarch Global Brands Drastically Reduces Wasted Time and Achieves Rapid ROI with Kuebix TMS

Monarch Global Brands, a third-generation wholesaler and manufacturer of microfiber and commercial linens based in Philadelphia, faced an entirely manual shipping operation that tied up two employees with phone calls, Excel spreadsheets and manual rate comparisons. Seeking to automate their supply chain and integrate their ERP, Monarch turned to Kuebix and aimed to implement a TMS with Sage 100 integration to reclaim time and reduce freight costs.

Kuebix implemented Kuebix TMS (Business Pro), integrated it with Sage 100 and added invoice audit functionality, automating rate shopping, shipment data flow and invoice verification. As a result Kuebix helped Monarch save $279,000 in the first 10 months, cut average freight cost from $0.23/lb to $0.14/lb (about $360,000 annual savings on ~4 million lbs), reduced booking time from 10–15 minutes to about 3 minutes per bill, and shrank invoice review from hours to seconds.
