关于客户
Koch Foods is one of America’s largest chicken producers. In 2017, the company decided to implement its first Transportation Management System (TMS) after decades of reliance on analog processes. As a $5 billion+ company, with around $200 million in annual outbound freight spend and multiple business units, a TMS was needed to consolidate and modernize transportation processes. The company pursued a dedicated procurement initiative, during which numerous TMS offerings were vetted. In the end, 3G’s TMS was selected because it presented the best-class-in its capabilities, flexibility, and cost.
挑战
Koch Foods, one of America’s largest chicken producers, decided to implement its first TMS after decades of reliance on analog processes. As a $5 billion+ company, with around $200 million in annual outbound freight spend and multiple business units, a TMS was needed to consolidate and modernize transportation processes. Koch Foods’ immediate TMS objective was taking a control tower approach to freight transportation. With enhanced visibility into carrier rates & performance, and the ability to isolate time-consuming bottlenecks, the transportation team was able to identify opportunities for more efficient use of resources and provide new sources of value for both Koch and its customers.
解决方案
The data derived from the TMS made it easier for Koch to not only assess carrier performance, but also to manage a larger carrier network. The ability to benchmark paid rates against the broader freight market for all component divisions has led to better, and continually evolving, procurement controls. Simultaneously, a growing broker and carrier network has enabled significant flexibility to use the right mix of contract and spot market rates. Rate analysis, review, and routing guide processes using 3G’s TMS have allowed Koch Foods to identify opportunities to reduce spend. Through a combination of dedicated lanes, rate analysis, procurement controls, and internal spot market performance KPIs the company realized a substantial savings in freight spend within the first year!

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.
