Case Study: Sunshades Eyewear achieves 10% freight savings with SmartFreight

Sunshades Eyewear cuts freight spend 10% with SmartFreight

Sunshades Eyewear, the largest privately owned sunglass company in Australia, faced the challenge of needing greater savings and better service levels from its freight vendors. They sought to eliminate manual consignment creation, seamlessly integrate with their Pronto Xi ERP system, and achieve a realistic reduction in their substantial annual freight expenditure. To address this, they partnered with vendor SmartFreight and implemented its SmartFreight Enterprise solution.

SmartFreight's solution provided a bi-directional integration with Pronto Xi, automating the shipping process and introducing effective Least Cost Routing. This implementation delivered substantial results for Sunshades Eyewear, including annual freight cost savings of $75,000 and a 10% reduction on their $750K freight spend. Additional efficiencies saved between 17-25 hours of labor per week, achieving a return on investment measured in weeks.
