Cellulose Insulation Case Study

Overview

Haversack improved efficiency and interoperability for a cellulose insulation manufacturer by building a custom, data-driven solution.

Challenge #1

Without any reporting tools to compare FTL pricing against national averages, the client incurred steep markups from third-party carriers.

Solution

Haversack applied a competitive FTL bid board structure to increase competition and reduce freight costs and created a tailored network of LTL carriers offering better rates.

Challenge #2

Full Truckload (FTL) quotes were obtained via phone or email, and bills of lading (BOLs) were processed manually, slowing operations. Meanwhile, a lack of real-time tracking restricted visibility and control.

Solution

Haversack implemented Haversack TMS for real-time shipment visibility, streamlined accounting, and brought in the client services team to ensure continuous support.

Challenge #3

Freight invoices were approved without audits, causing errors to go unnoticed. Non-standardized pallet sizing also led to higher shipping costs.

Solution

Haversack leveraged business intelligence to identify inefficiencies and analyze spending trends. Additionally, Haversack conducted fleet assessments, customer discovery, and technology integration to build a new network optimization model.

Results

Haversack achieved $9.4M in savings by correcting payment terms, improving invoicing processes, and delivering solutions that enhanced their current operations.
