Impressive Results from Pilot Project
A pilot study/project was conducted in June 2024 as part of the same collaboration, with the main target being NT’s largest consumer packaged goods (CPG) clients. The following were the results.
- More than 90 percent of the appointments were confirmed without any manual input.
- More than 95 percent of the deliveries were according to the time slot given by NT.
- Scheduling occurred instantly via NT’s Transportation Management System (TMS).
- With NT’s Transportation Management System, the scheduling occurred instantly
These results marked a significant improvement in both the speed and reliability of logistics scheduling.
Scalability Across the Network
As the results were quite impressive, Qued’s solutions were expanded to the whole network of NT Logistics. As the new system is being introduced, it is said that NT is:
- Allocating labor in an efficient manner at receiving facilities.
- Avoiding costly delays due to appointment issues.
- Improving planning accuracy for inbound freight.
The advanced platform also provides greater visibility and shorter lead times for shippers and carriers, enabling higher on-time delivery rates.
Looking at the Future: Bringing AI to More Shippers
The upcoming plans of both companies appear solid, with the companies aiming to roll out AI-powered email scheduling, which can help make the technology accessible to mid-sized shippers. The move can be regarded as remarkable, as it could help improve workflow and attract better clients.
