挑战
Bombas 是一家总部位于纽约市的优质基本款品牌,在寻求扩大业务规模以满足快速增长的需求时,面临着巨大的供应链挑战。该公司每向支持资源贫乏社区的组织出售一件物品,就会捐赠一件物品,该公司使用手动策略和电子表格来管理其运营。该系统既不具有战略性,也不具有可扩展性。业务的增长导致发货量激增,Bombas 需要技术来支持其入境货运的数量和多样性。此外,该公司正在寻求优化其供应链运营以实现增长,并且需要一个能够提供整体供应链解决方案的物流合作伙伴。
解决方案
Bombas 于 2017 年向 Flexport 寻求全面的供应链解决方案。 Flexport 的数字平台提供了货运状态的可见性,咨询客户团队提供了运营策略建议。这使得 Bombas 在达到关键里程碑时节省了时间和金钱。 Flexport 基于网络的报告工具使 Bombas 的小团队能够更有效地管理不断增长的数量。 Flexport 平台提供的实时通知和透明度改变了 Bombas 的游戏规则,因为他们不再需要猜测发货情况。 Flexport 的平台还揭示了货运市场的波动和季节性,使 Bombas 的运营团队能够以特定月份为目标,以具有成本意识的方式满足需求。 Flexport 还提供战略咨询,为 Bombas 的发展、推出新产品和扩大影响力过程中的物流战略提供建议。

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

Case Study
3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
