Surgical Robotics Case Study

Overview

Haversack worked alongside a leading manufacturer of robotic surgical devices, ensuring their technology reached its destination with greater speed, accuracy, and cost control.

Challenge #1

Full Truckload (FTL) shipments were sourced to a single provider, limiting competitive pricing, while Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments incurred steep markups from third-party logistics partners.

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

Final Mile (FM) shipments lacked a defined process, which introduced inconsistencies in the handling and delivery of sensitive materials.

Solution

Haversack launched a white glove load board to standardize pricing, streamline document creation, and enable more reliable tracking of sensitive shipments.

---

Challenge #3

Limited training on best practices at individual shipping sites and a lack of real-time shipping visibility resulted in operational inefficiencies.

Solution

Haversack implemented Haversack TMS and Network Management to streamline operations and provide real-time shipment visibility, while business intelligence via the TMS identified inefficiencies and analyzed spending trends.

Results

Haversack reduced costs, improved service quality, and modernized logistics within twelve months, resulting in $6.1M in total savings.
