挑战
Sysco IFG, a division of America's largest foodservice company, Sysco, coordinates thousands of products from over 90 countries, reaching millions of consumers daily. The company's goal is to reduce costs to customers, reduce delivery time for cargo, documents, and information, and increase logistics income. However, they faced challenges in making freight shipping rates available to sales and sourcing teams and ensuring those rates were used. The involvement of logistics and accounting teams in the sales process was resource-draining and slowed down the sales process, costing them sales.
解决方案
Sysco IFG adopted Freightos, a technology that allows sales reps to check door-to-door international freight rates online in seconds during meetings with suppliers or customers. This reduced the involvement of logistics and accounting teams in the sales process, as they now only check a fraction of sales, and the checking process takes much less time. Freightos also aids in better freight negotiations. Before meeting carriers, Sysco IFG can use Freightos to check negotiated rates from carriers, reducing preparation time and increasing confidence in the data. Freightos also provides access to market rates and trend visibility, which are critical when spot quoting.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
