Case Study: Faurecia improves supply chain resilience and cuts transport costs with Shippeo

Limiting risk and creating a competitive advantage by increasing supply chain resilience

Faurecia, a global leader in automotive seating systems, faced significant challenges within its complex supply chain. Unforeseen delays and a lack of visibility were leading to unexpected transport costs, high penalties from clients like BMW and Porsche for late deliveries, and costly production line stoppages. To address this, Faurecia partnered with vendor Shippeo to implement its real-time transportation visibility platform.

Shippeo's solution provided predictive, real-time tracking of all deliveries by leveraging a large carrier network and machine learning-based ETAs. This integration gave Faurecia's teams and partners instant visibility, enabling proactive issue resolution. The results were substantial: a 15% reduction in the supply chain team's workload, €0.5 million saved in urgent transport costs, and combined annual savings of €1.9 million. Shippeo helped Faurecia drastically reduce penalties and increase supply chain resilience.
