Case Study: BASF improves supply chain visibility and lowers costs with Transplace TMS

Data Analytics Improves BASF Supply Chain Operations and Overall Business

BASF, a producer and marketer of chemicals and related products, faced challenges in managing its supply chain, including the need for an updated transportation management system (TMS), better data communication with its SAP system, and a desire to understand vendor KPIs to reduce complexity. To address this, they expanded their relationship with vendor Transplace to leverage its proprietary TMS, which provided data analytics, real-time shipment monitoring, and BI reporting. This solution improved operational oversight, streamlined procurement, and enhanced supply chain visibility for BASF. The partnership delivered significant benefits, including improved services, cost optimization, and such substantial value that BASF named Transplace its 2017 “Supplier of the Year for North America” from a pool of over 12,000 suppliers.
