Cotec, data exchange via EDI, and the Plimor Customer Service (SAP). Plimor's commitment to maximum delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction has made it a prominent player in the transport industry.
The Challenge
Plimor, one of Latin America's main transport companies, faced challenges in implementing its strategic planning based on the Balanced Score Card (BSC) methodology. The company needed a solution that could help control strategic actions and initiatives, detect deviations in performance, and manage high-risk events. Additionally, Plimor required a system that could integrate with its existing ERP and provide easy-to-read reports for effective performance management.
The Solution
Plimor adopted the SoftExpert Corporate Performance Management (CPM) solution to streamline its strategic planning implementation. The SoftExpert solution automatically detects performance deviations and allows for the recording and management of high-risk events. It ensures compliance with the BSC methodology and provides effective management of performance indicators. The software generates easy-to-read reports, enabling Plimor to monitor its current performance against established goals. The fully online interface, integration capabilities with different modules and the ERP used at Plimor, and the highly qualified local customer assistance team were key factors in choosing SoftExpert as the supplier.

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.

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.”
