Case Study: Forvia Seating achieves greater supply chain resilience with Shippeo

Forvia Seating reduces transport costs by €0.5m with Shippeo

Forvia Seating, a global leader in automotive seating components, faced significant challenges within its highly complex supply chain. Unexpected waiting times and delays were leading to increased carrier costs, high penalties for late deliveries, and the risk of costly production line stops for their customers. To address these issues and increase supply chain resilience, Forvia partnered with visibility vendor Shippeo.

Shippeo implemented its real-time land transport tracking solution, which provided predictive and real-time visibility of all deliveries. The solution integrated directly with Forvia's existing systems and their network of over 180 carriers. This implementation delivered substantial results, including a 15% reduction in the workload of supply chain teams and €0.5m saved in transport costs. Combined with a 2-7% improvement in warehouse utilization, the project is projected to achieve €1.9m in annual savings for Forvia.
