Overview
- Industry: Automotive / Contract manufacturing of complete vehicles
- Challenge: Manual, fragmented inbound transport planning without end-to-end visibility into shipments and demand
- Goal: Streamline delivery calls, standardize planning, and create a clear, centralized view of material flows and constraints
Initial situation
An international vehicle manufacturer wanted to rethink its inbound logistics. The goal was to move away from fragmented, manual planning toward a seamless, transparent process. Fluctuating demand, varying requirements across business units, and a lack of overall visibility made modernization inevitable.
Our shared path to success
In collaboration with S2data, a solution was developed that organizes delivery calls, makes decisions more transparent, and standardizes planning across different modes of transport. As a result, the manufacturer gained significantly greater clarity regarding material flows, capacities, and operational constraints—while reducing the effort required for day-to-day management.
Solution
In our full success story, we show how the manufacturer implemented this transformation in practice, which steps were crucial, and how the new planning approach works in day-to-day operations.
