Client Background

SwiftLogistics is a mid-size logistics provider operating across 15 distribution centers, handling last-mile delivery for 200+ e-commerce clients.

The Problem

Manual processes couldn't scale with growing shipment volumes. The company was turning away new clients because they couldn't process orders fast enough.

Analysis

Process mapping revealed 23 manual handoffs per shipment, with data re-entered an average of 4 times across different systems. Each handoff added 3-5 minutes and introduced error opportunities.

Solution

CUZEC built an integrated workflow automation platform connecting their TMS, WMS, billing, and customer communication systems into a seamless automated pipeline.

Automation Built

  • Automated shipment intake and validation
  • Route optimization integration
  • Real-time tracking update automation
  • Automated billing and invoicing
  • Customer notification workflows
  • Exception handling and escalation

Implementation

A 12-week implementation connected all 6 systems via API integrations and built automated workflows for the entire shipment lifecycle from intake to delivery confirmation.
