Case Study: Ovako centralises transport bookings and improves visibility with nShift TMS

nShift makes life 20 times simpler for Ovako

Ovako, a leading European steel manufacturer, faced challenges managing its high volume of freight shipments. The company, which ships 700,000 tons of steel annually using 20 different carriers, previously booked all transport through individual carrier portals and emails. This fragmented approach caused inefficiencies and a lack of central visibility into shipment status and costs. To bring structure and transparency to this process, Ovako turned to nShift and adopted its TMS (Transport Management System).

nShift implemented a centralized booking portal, nShift TMS, with a simple initial setup that required no immediate system integration. The solution provided local teams with a single, structured workflow and gave head office clear overview and control. As a result, Ovako gained full visibility into shipment progress and costs, streamlined the onboarding of its local offices, and improved invoice verification using the system's automatic pricing feature, leading to a more controlled and efficient global transport operation.
