What Was the Issue?
Before implementing EasyCargo, Termomecanica was already interested in improving its load planning and loading processes, whether in terms of optimizing cargo space, organizing the loading plan, or delivering to suppliers/customers.
Main challenges:
- Loading products with different dimensions.
- A strenuous process of loading and unloading products due to the high volume of deliveries.
How Did We Help?
EasyCargo provided Termomecanica with a solution that provided a straightforward solution to all of its key challenges, thereby transforming its load planning and logistics processes:
- Optimized cargo space usage: The EasyCargo algorithm made it possible to calculate the optimal use of cargo space and optimize the loading time with the help of the load plan.
- Automated cargo planning: In the process of using EasyCargo’s fast and efficient loading plan, Termomecanica was able to determine the exact number of products to be loaded. This prevented Termomecanica from having to redo the process of manually planning shipments, ensuring better logistics management.
- Enhanced product delivery: Termomecanica successfully enhanced their product delivery using EasyCargo, as it is now possible to check each step through a unique layout and prevent human error, thereby loading trucks more quickly. This leads to faster and more efficient deliveries. In this way, the company’s credibility is assured, both inside and outside of the organization.
What Are the Results?
EasyCargo enabled Termomecanica to achieve the success it had been striving for. Based on the first month of use, Termomecanica has already seen a 30% increase in productivity. In addition to being interactive and offering 3D visualization, EasyCargo can also consider several variables.
What Does the Client Say About Us?
We spoke with Yan Gois, who has been working for the company for 10 years in the Foreign Trade department. Additionally, the next step for Termomecanica is to integrate EasyCargo with their existing software via API.
“We have managed to expand the tool to various areas of the company, including project cargo. In addition to our intercompanies (Cembrass in Chile, Cembrass in Argentina, and Termomecanica in Amazonia).”
