Athletic Brewing faced logistical complexities and rising costs due to rapid growth. Their manual processes for tracking shipments, managing quotes, and coordinating with carriers made scaling difficult and time-consuming. They relied heavily on email and spreadsheets, lacked real-time analytics, and had limited visibility into carrier performance.
Athletic Brewing identified the need for a comprehensive Transportation Management System (TMS) to streamline logistics, improve efficiency, and control costs. By selecting ShipperGuide TMS and later adding Opendock, they aimed to centralize shipment management, simplify RFP processes, increase carrier options, and enhance dock scheduling capabilities.
With ShipperGuide TMS, Athletic Brewing expanded its carrier network, improved cost efficiency, and reduced manual workload, achieving savings of 7-8% below average spot rates. They also enhanced scheduling accuracy and customer satisfaction by implementing Opendock, which provided visibility and reduced congestion at dock facilities.
