Case Study: Bekaert reduces logistics costs and improves planning with Transporeon

Improve Planning and Decrease Logistics Costs

Bekaert Corporation, a global steel wire manufacturer with five U.S. facilities, needed a better way to manage centralized transportation and dock operations. Before adopting Transporeon, each plant handled logistics manually through emails, phone calls, and first-come-first-serve scheduling, making it difficult to plan labor, control detention, and gain visibility across shipping sites.

By implementing Transporeon dock scheduling and related transportation management tools, Bekaert centralized scheduling, improved dock visibility, and made detention fees easier to validate and reduce. Transporeon also supported load tender management, reporting, and pricing tables, helping Bekaert eliminate annual carrier bids and drive about 40% year-over-year freight savings on most managed lanes.
