Case Study: Ryan Herco achieves 50% faster shipping and 99%+ freight billing accuracy with Varsity Logistics

Ryan Herco Profits from Varsity ShipSoft

Ryan Herco, a Burbank-based industrial parts distributor averaging 750 parcels and 100 LTL shipments per day, needed to replace 22 stand‑alone carrier stations and improve freight expense control, customer profitability visibility, and shipping accuracy while integrating with their Mincron ERP. They selected Varsity Logistics and its ShipSoft-Parcel™ and ShipSoft-Freight™ solutions to provide an iSeries‑based, multi‑carrier shipping system that would automate parcel and freight workflows and exchange data with Mincron.

Varsity Logistics implemented ShipSoft‑Freight to automate carrier selection, LTL rating, routing‑guide compliance and Bills of Lading, and ShipSoft‑Parcel to automate parcel processing and tracking, fully integrated with Mincron. The solution cut shipping times in half, increased freight billing accuracy to over 99% (resolving an estimated 4% prior leakage), exposed more than $100,000/year in accessorial charges that can now be avoided or passed on, enabled redeployment of shipping staff, and let sales retrieve tracking instantly—delivering measurable cost savings and improved customer service.
