Case Study: Colgate-Palmolive achieves real-time supply chain visibility with Transplace Control Tower

Transplace Control Tower Gives Colgate-Palmolive Instant, Complete Supply Chain Visibility

Colgate-Palmolive, a leading global consumer products company, faced a significant challenge due to its heavy reliance on manual processes for tracking shipments, which resulted in a lack of real-time visibility into its supply chain. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Transplace to implement the Transplace Control Tower.

The solution provided by Transplace delivered immediate, real-time visibility into all shipments by integrating Descartes MacroPoint™ and EDI into its Transportation Management System. This eliminated manual tracking and enabled Colgate-Palmolive to strategically plan outbound shipments and proactively manage exceptions. The results for Colgate-Palmolive included major operational improvements such as process automation, better shipment planning, and increased service levels across its supply chain.
