Case Study: Chancey Metals cuts freight management time and saves 20% with Portex

How Chancey Metals is saving ~4 hours a day on managing logistics

Chancey Metals, a metal fabrication company, faced significant challenges ensuring on-time deliveries of building materials to construction sites, as delays resulted in financial penalties. Their logistics manager, David Perez, spent approximately four hours each day managing communications and quotes with freight partners through inefficient emails and phone calls, leading to slow responses and constant scrambling. This outdated process made it difficult to secure reliable and competitively priced shipping options.

By implementing Portex, the company centralized its freight procurement and communication. The Portex platform automated quote requests, stored documents, and provided a single view for tracking, saving the logistics manager nearly four hours per day. These efficiencies allowed for more strategic work and helped Chancey Metals achieve 20% cost savings by easily onboarding new brokers and driving more competitive pricing. Portex provided the crucial visibility and tools needed to ensure on-time deliveries and reduce freight spend.
