Case Study: Yamaha Motor Australia achieves lower freight costs and streamlined operations with SmartFreight

Yamaha Motor Australia cuts freight costs and streamlines 700 daily shipments with SmartFreight

Yamaha Motor Australia, a distributor of motorcycles, marine engines, and other vehicles, was dissatisfied with its previous Transport Management System (TMS). They struggled with the system's complexity and were unable to form a beneficial partnership. Seeking to minimize freight charges and streamline operations, they turned to the vendor SmartFreight for a solution, specifically implementing the SmartFreight Enterprise service.

SmartFreight provided a fully integrated system that automated key processes like least cost routing and advanced shipping notifications. This solution gave Yamaha more control, leading to significant cost savings, labour efficiencies, and fewer errors. The partnership with SmartFreight empowered employees to make on-the-spot shipping decisions and provided accurate data for negotiating better rates with carriers, which was critical for a company shipping around 700 items daily.
