Case Study: Bekaert Corporation achieves greater transportation control and transparency with Transporeon Group

Bekaert Corporation - Customer Case Study

Bekaert Corporation, a global leader in steel wire transformation and coating technologies, needed a more controlled freight strategy across its North American operations. Before working with Transporeon Group, each plant managed its own logistics, carrier selection lacked transparency, and freight assignments were handled manually through phone calls and email, contributing to dock congestion and high detention costs.

Transporeon Group implemented its platform across Bekaert’s U.S. facilities, including Shipment Execution integrated with SAP, Best Carrier for spot-market bidding and automated shipment execution, No-Touch Order, and Dock Scheduling. The result was a more centralized and transparent transportation process, better planning and execution, easier validation of detention fees, and reduced carrier payment processing effort, with an appointment-only model that better matched shipping capacity.
