Case Study: Industrial Machinery Company saves 11 hours a week and cuts freight costs with Portex

How an Industrial Machinery Co. saved 11 hours weekly on domestic & international shipments

an industrial machinery company faced a time-consuming and inefficient process for obtaining freight quotes, relying on manual emails and phone calls with a single broker. This method took up to 12 hours per week and resulted in a lack of competitive pricing, hindering their goal to reduce their overall transportation budget.

Portex provided a centralized platform to automate quote requests and manage communications. By using Portex, the company saved over 11 hours weekly, reduced its quoting time to just 45 minutes, and achieved an estimated $434,370 in cost savings over nine months by engaging more brokers and gaining better pricing visibility.
