Bayer Crop Science implemented a real-time visibility platform to overcome siloed TMS data and limited air/ocean coverage. The solution integrated with existing TMS systems and scaled from a Mexico pilot to global operations covering rail, ocean, truckload, LTL, air, and last-mile shipments. Results included 50% improved shipment visibility, 44% reduced delivery inquiry lead times, and significantly more accurate ETAs compared to carrier predictions.

Key takeaways

50% improvement in global shipment visibility after rollout

44% reduction in delivery inquiry lead times

5x greater ETA precision versus carrier-provided estimates for ocean shipments

Real-time geolocation and geofencing enabled proactive customer alerts

Last-mile tracking reduced manual shipment follow-up in remote regions
