Case Study: Knauf achieves reduced waiting times and demurrage costs with Transporeon Time Slot Management

Knauf cuts truck waiting times by 40% with Transporeon

Knauf, a global building materials manufacturer, faced significant challenges in managing its complex logistics operations, which included coordinating 1000 daily outbound shipments. The decentralized and chaotic yard operations led to excessive waiting times for trucks, high demurrage costs during peak hours, and difficulties in prioritizing deliveries. To bring order and efficiency, Knauf partnered with Transporeon to implement its Time Slot Management solution.

By implementing Transporeon's Time Slot Management, Knauf gained a clear overview of yard schedules and established standardized booking processes with its carriers. The solution, integrated with Knauf's ERP system, provided flexibility for schedule changes and enabled effective prioritization of shipments. This resulted in a dramatic decrease in waiting times for call-off, a significant reduction in peak times and demurrage costs, and increased satisfaction for drivers and warehouse staff. Transporeon's solution also generated savings on warehouse space and improved overall visibility and efficiency.
