Case Study: a global automotive lubricants company recovers revenue and improves supply chain visibility with Sutherland’s eSeal platform

Global Automotive Lubricants Company recovers 4% revenue with Sutherland Global Services

A global leader in automotive and industrial lubricants with operations in over 140 countries struggled with significant supply chain inefficiencies, including mis-dispatches, misplaced inventory, and a lack of end-to-end visibility. These challenges were causing an estimated 4% revenue loss and frequent product obsolescence. To address this, they partnered with Sutherland Global Services to implement the eSeal® visibility platform.

Sutherland implemented its eSeal® platform, which included a Warehouse Management System for organized inventory, a scanning-based dispatch system to eliminate errors, and a Distributor Management System for real-time tracking. This solution provided integrated visibility and control across the client's supply chain. The results were substantial: Sutherland helped the client prevent 4% in sales losses, reduce inventory obsolescence by 3%, free up 2% of working capital, and achieve a 90% drop in unauthorized cross-border distribution.
