Proven Results in Logistics Operations
Don't just take our word for it. See how we've transformed back-office operations for logistics companies like yours.
Scaling Brokerage Operations Without Increasing Headcount
"LiveHelpIndia's team became an extension of our own. They took over the tedious data entry and tracking, which freed up our brokers to do what they do best: sell freight and build carrier relationships. Our productivity shot up almost immediately."
The Problem
The client was experiencing rapid growth, but their freight brokers were spending over half their day on administrative tasks like load building in the TMS, tracking shipments, and managing paperwork. This administrative burden was capping their sales capacity and increasing the risk of data entry errors.
Key Challenges
- High volume of manual data entry into their TMS.
- Inconsistent shipment tracking and customer updates.
- Delays in invoicing due to missing PODs.
- Difficulty scaling operations during peak demand.
Our Solution
We deployed a dedicated team of 5 logistics back-office specialists to function as the client's centralized operations support hub. The solution included:
- 24/7 TMS Data Entry: Took over all load building and carrier data updates, ensuring data was entered within 15 minutes of receipt.
- Proactive Shipment Tracking: Monitored all active shipments, updated the TMS with real-time status, and flagged potential delays for the brokers.
- POD Management System: Implemented a process to systematically collect, verify, and attach PODs to loads, enabling same-day invoicing.
- Flexible Staffing Model: Provided an on-demand resource to handle overflow during the last week of each month, their busiest period.
Enhancing Customer Experience Through Operational Excellence
"The accuracy and speed of LiveHelpIndia's team directly impacted our customer satisfaction. Fewer shipping errors and proactive tracking updates meant happier customers and a lighter load on our support team. It was a game-changer for our post-purchase experience."
The Problem
As order volumes surged, the client's small in-house team was overwhelmed with processing orders, managing returns, and handling shipping inquiries. This led to fulfillment errors, delayed customer communication, and a lengthy claims process for damaged goods, negatively impacting their brand reputation.
Key Challenges
- High rate of errors in order entry and address verification.
- Reactive, slow responses to customer tracking requests.
- Inefficient management of return merchandise authorizations (RMAs).
- Lengthy and poorly documented freight claims process.
Our Solution
We provided an integrated back-office and customer support solution focused on the post-purchase journey:
- Automated Order Verification: Used AI tools to validate shipping addresses and flag potentially fraudulent orders before they were processed.
- Centralized Tracking Hub: Monitored all outbound shipments and sent automated, branded email and SMS updates to customers at key milestones.
- RMA Processing Team: Managed the entire returns process, from issuing RMAs to coordinating with the warehouse and processing refunds.
- Dedicated Claims Specialist: Handled all freight claims, ensuring proper documentation was filed within carrier deadlines to maximize recovery rates.
Achieving Supply Chain Visibility and Cost Control
"LiveHelpIndia brought discipline and data-driven insights to our logistics operations. Their freight audit team found savings we didn't know existed, and their reporting gave us the leverage we needed for better carrier negotiations. They are a true strategic partner."
The Problem
The client lacked visibility into their true transportation costs and performance. Their decentralized approach meant freight bills were often paid without proper auditing, customs paperwork was prone to errors, and they had no reliable way to measure carrier performance across their various plants.
Key Challenges
- No centralized process for auditing freight invoices.
- Risk of delays and fines from inaccurate customs documentation.
- Lack of standardized KPIs to measure carrier on-time performance.
- Inability to consolidate logistics data for strategic analysis.
Our Solution
We established a Logistics Center of Excellence (CoE) to centralize key back-office functions:
- Freight Audit & Payment Service: Implemented a multi-point audit of every freight invoice, recovering significant savings by correcting billing errors.
- Customs Documentation Support: Created a dedicated team to manage data entry for commercial invoices and packing lists, ensuring accuracy for their customs broker.
- Performance Analytics: Developed and managed a monthly carrier scorecard, tracking on-time pickup/delivery, tender acceptance rates, and cost per shipment.
- Data Consolidation: Pulled data from multiple systems to create a unified view of their logistics network, providing insights into optimization opportunities.
