CHEP Canada’s Results Reduced carrier payment cycle time by 32% Improved real-time visibility of orders Operated complex functionalities simultaneously Re-deployed additional resources with savings
VALUE DELIVERED THROUGH LEANLOGISTICS SAAS SOLUTION Client Profile CHEP Canada is the Canadian operating group of a Global Equipment Pooling company, CHEP, founded in 1945. CHEP has $4.8B in global annual sales, operating across 50 countries, executing a Canadian freight spend of +$50M USD. This amount does include Northbound cross-border shipments of stock transfers, but does not include shipments of stock transfers into the US.
Business Process and Problem Definition Converse to the company’s United States operating entity, CHEP Canada is responsible for paying the freight for 80% of all of its assets that are returning to their internal supply chain, 35% of issues to customers, and 100% of assets being transferred between plants. The previous process was manually managed through the use of spreadsheets generated from their ERP System. The company needed to properly compliment their ERP System with an efficient TMS, while automating processes via their LeanLogistics Managed Transportation Services team. CHEP Canada was also looking to gain enterprise visibility through standard KPI reporting formats and standardize general business practices. Leveraging a true SaaS TMS was seen as essential to keep moving the business forward to meet the marketplace’s ever-changing and dynamic demands.
