CASE STUDY
IMPROVING SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY
How we helped a global outdoor apparel and gear brand reduce rework by 50%, increase supply chain visibility by 90%, and strengthen cost control through integrated PO management and supplier collaboration.
RESULTS AT A GLANCE
THE CHALLENGE
The company faced growing complexity across its supplier and transportation network.
Key challenges included:
- Limited shipment visibility
- Manual freight audit processes
- No centralised vendor booking platform
- High vendor onboarding costs
- Limited transportation rate management
Without a unified view of orders and shipments, teams were often reacting to issues after they occurred.
THE DP WORLD APPROACH
We implemented a scalable end-to-end PO management solution designed to create a single source of truth across the supply chain.
Supplier and Order Management
Create a single source of truth across suppliers, purchase orders, and inventory. Improve collaboration and gain earlier visibility into production progress, milestones, and potential disruptions.
Automated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Integration
Automate data exchange between the customer’s ERP and supply chain partners. Reduce manual processing, improve data quality, and eliminate rework caused by disconnected systems.
Contract and Transportation Management
Streamline transportation planning, consolidation, and contract management through a connected platform. Improve cost control while providing greater flexibility across carriers and logistics partners.
End-to-End Shipment Visibility
Track orders and shipments from origin through final delivery with real-time status updates. Give teams the visibility needed to proactively manage exceptions and improve service performance.
Live Tracking and Predictive Estimated Time of Arrivals
Monitor ocean shipments with live tracking, geofencing, and predictive ETAs. Enable faster decision-making and more accurate planning by identifying delays before they impact operations.
ONE PLATFORM, COMPLETE VISIBILITY.
A single connected platform brought suppliers, logistics partners, and retailers together, improving visibility, strengthening performance, and enabling more proactive decision-making.
