Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves centralized supply chain visibility and significant freight cost savings with TMC's Navisphere®

Global Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Global Manufacturing Company had grown rapidly through acquisitions and ended up with a decentralized supply chain—more than 100 plant locations, multiple warehouses, four separate business lines, and fragmented budgets—making it difficult to manage carriers, control costs, and see total landed costs. To consolidate the network and maximize logistics talent, they engaged TMC and implemented TMC’s cloud-based transportation management system, Navisphere®, while also bringing TMC logistics experts onsite.

TMC configured Navisphere® by division and deployed it across all locations (aligning 500+ employees and ~6,000 transportation lanes), while onsite TMC teams led operational change management and strategic best-practice adoption. The result was centralized visibility, automated route guides and accessorial approvals, improved carrier utilization through benchmarking and a narrowed core carrier base, and load optimization/ consolidation that delivered measurable freight cost savings—freeing internal resources to focus on long-term strategy and network improvements.
