Challenges Faced

Manual Processes Impeding Productivity: Despite REIZ’s focus on providing personalized coordinators to each customer who is supplied through a single distribution point, gaps were discovered in terms of managing recurring customer questions. Many operator hours were wasted answering basic questions about shipment status, delivery delays, or documentation, among other things, failing to provide value-added services.

Lack of User-Friendly Customer Interface: Because the old TMS system lacked a customer-friendly user experience many communications that could have been automated had to be done manually. Additionally, it restricted the company’s cash flows, which harmed the level of service provided by REIZ.

Solution

Elicit Technology, in partnership with CargoWise, provided a comprehensive solution that addressed REIZ’s challenges:

Streamlined Customer Interactions: Created an online client interface in CargoWise that allowed clients to see shipment status and upload documentation on their own. As a result, companies received fewer calls, and the operators were able to focus on other crucial duties, increasing their productivity.

Customized Implementation and Training: With the assistance of Elicit Technology, REIZ was able to integrate CargoWise into its operations quickly and without substantial issues. To optimize the utilization of the upgraded system, operators and consumers were provided both supplier and end-user training.

Improved Document Management: When discussing the platform’s main benefits, it is worth noting that it allowed customers to both download and upload commercial documents created by them into the platform, resulting in a significant reduction in the time spent on document customization as well as an increase in its accuracy.

Results

Operational Efficiency: By integrating the new software CargoWise, the organization was able to increase some operational efficiency. Respondents at REIZ welcomed having more time free of monotonous duties, allowing them to devote their time and attention to more valuable tasks related to the client experience.

Improved Customer Experience: When pushed to the new platform, clients expressed high levels of satisfaction because they no longer felt the need to communicate with operators to obtain shipment information. Aside from increasing service delivery efficiency, the self-service capability improved relationships between REIZ and clients, resulting in higher customer satisfaction levels.

Increased Business Opportunities: As a result of the CargoWise platform’s features, new business arrangements began to be formed based on platform management as well as an improvement in customer experience and visibility, propelling REIZ to great success.
