Manufacturer Achieves Real-Time Shipment Visibility, Improves Cash Flow by $14M Annually

About the Client

The client is a Fortune 1000 manufacturing enterprise managing over 25,000 shipments per month across multiple regions and carriers. Limited visibility into shipment status, missing proofs of delivery (PODs), and inaccurate estimated times of arrival (ETAs) impacted operational efficiency and financial processes. The organization needed a scalable, real-time visibility platform to streamline logistics and improve decision-making. To enable this transformation, the company partnered with Zymr.

Key Outcomes

83% Faster Invoice Approval Cycles
$14M Improvement in Annual Cash Flow

Business Challenges

The manufacturer lacked real-time visibility into shipment movements, making it difficult to track delivery status and ensure timely confirmations. Proof of delivery (POD) collection was inconsistent, leading to delays in invoice validation and revenue realization.
Fragmented communication between carriers, warehouses, and internal systems resulted in unreliable ETAs and operational inefficiencies. Manual processes further slowed down shipment tracking and reconciliation workflows.
Additionally, the absence of a unified platform made it challenging to integrate telematics data and carrier EDI feeds, limiting automation opportunities. The organization needed a modern, event-driven solution to enable real-time tracking, improve accuracy, and optimize logistics operations.
