Elemica, the B2B supply chain execution network, announced that BASF has implemented the Elemica Logistics Road system to facilitate collaboration with its carriers. The successful project, which seamlessly connects, standardizes, and automates logistics processes with more than 100 North American road carriers of all sizes, was implemented in less than six months.
BASF is using the Road module of Elemica's business process network to garner visibility into carrier activities, ensuring shipments are correct, the right carriers are selected for order requirements, and shipment turnaround time is greatly enhanced. The Elemica network integrates completely with BASF's ERP system, improving invoice and shipment accuracy. Carriers can view the loads and bookings that BASF has tendered to them, respond to tender offers, set pick-up and delivery appointments, communicate shipment status information, and submit freight invoices.
Benefits of the Elemica Logistics implementation include collaborative planning and execution with carriers for “right carrier at the right time” scenarios, higher ontime delivery, single point of visibility and real-time access to information for better, faster decisionmaking, reporting for trending and performance management, and reduced transportation spending with optimal carrier selection.
