关于客户
RAS Logistics Inc. 是一家最后一英里配送服务公司,成立于 1998 年,最初是威斯康星州密尔沃基的一家家电安装公司。2001 年,通用电气 (GE) 赢得了为家得宝配送家电的供应链合同,该公司的业务模式发生了巨大变化。GE 委托 RAS 负责将其洗衣机、烘干机和冰箱配送并安装到家得宝客户家中。随着家得宝的家电和家具销量增长,RAS Logistics 也随之增长。该公司扩展了其服务范围,包括为其他大客户配送,其中包括 Wayfair、Restoration Hardware 和 Mattress Firm 等。很快,RAS 就开始配送各种产品,包括家具、水疗、床垫和健身器材。该公司从一家门店发展到 21 家门店,全部位于密西西比河以东。如今,RAS 总部位于印第安纳州埃尔克哈特。该公司的每个门店都作为独立的法人实体运营,从而形成运营孤岛。该公司的销售额现已超过 4,000 万美元。
挑战
RAS Logistics Inc. 成立于 1998 年,最初是位于威斯康星州密尔沃基的一家家电安装公司。仅仅三年后,通用电气赢得了为家得宝运送家电的供应链合同,公司的业务发生了巨大变化。通用电气委托 RAS 负责向家得宝客户家中运送和安装洗衣机、烘干机和冰箱。随着家得宝的发展,RAS 也不断发展。其他大客户也转向 RAS 进行运送,其中包括 Wayfair、Restoration Hardware 和 Mattress Firm 等。很快,RAS 就开始运送家具、水疗、床垫和健身器材。该公司从一家门店发展到 21 家门店,全部位于密西西比河以东。如今,RAS 的总部位于印第安纳州埃尔克哈特。每个门店都是独立的法人实体,因此是一个运营孤岛。不幸的是,它的财务系统 QuickBooks 无法满足这家销售额超过 4,000 万美元的公司的需求。RAS 使用自定义 SQL 数据库程序向客户开具发票。它没有连接到 QuickBooks;信息必须手动输入 QuickBooks。RAS 使用 200 到 300 名独立承包商进行送货。RAS 使用第三方来处理独立承包商的付款,这又增加了一层手动复杂性。进一步使向独立承包商付款变得复杂的是与 Enterprise Truck Sales 合作的一项计划,根据该计划,RAS 将在财务上帮助独立承包商获得送货卡车,然后从送货收入中扣除车辆的租赁费用。最终将独立承包商的付款直接汇给 Enterprise。
解决方案
RAS Logistics 与 Crestwood Associates 合作实施了 Acumatica,Pearson 表示,实施过程非常顺利。“如果我再来一次,我们就不会尝试输入历史信息,因为我们这边遇到了一些困难,”他说。“但新数据的实施进展顺利,我的团队比他们想象的要快得多。”由于有多个地点,每个公司分支机构现在都可以将所有交易输入同一个系统。Acumatica 计算退款、发票和备忘录,让每个分支机构和总部都能实时查看每次交付以及相关成本。例如,有了实时信息,管理人员可以更好地了解与错过交付相关的成本。“完成错过的交付非常昂贵;我们不能把它放在正常路线上,它需要一条特殊路线,而且我们要支付额外费用才能交付,”Pearson 说。“所以他们现在有了更好的财务数据,也更清楚与此相关的成本。”

Case Study
Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

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.

Zonar Takes the Wheel with a M2M Solution
Zonar’s fleet management solutions collect, report and analyze data before, during and after a vehicle’s trip. The company needed Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity to enable communication between in-vehicle devices and back-end systems. To deliver high volumes of potentially sensitive information from and to moving vehicles – and keep pace with its rapid business growth – Zonar wanted a highly secure solution that it could easily manage and that had the required national and global reach.
