Challenge: Client distribution of perishable products across approximately 150 retail stores in 35 states was creating challenges for receiving teams, who struggled to find and download data loggers when unloading trucks. Compliance failures resulted. For recovered devices, a time-consuming download process followed which also required outdated software.
Solution: The client implemented Parsyl devices for wireless download of data during the unloading process. The data, which now includes dynamic contextual data, is aggregated in Parsyl's cloud-based platform for easy analysis. Remote quality assurance teams monitor and intervene on problematic shipments without manual notification from receiving teams. The client uses this data to mitigate risk and proactively strengthen supply chain operations.
Results: The client saved an estimated 25% on hardware spend in the first year. Overall operations improved. Newfound risk mitigation procedures and insights will continue to amplify savings and improve product quality and customer satisfaction over time.
About the Solution Provider: Parsyl is a data-powered insurance and risk management solution for essential supply chains. Parsyl’s combined data and software solution helps customers understand, mitigate and insure risks to goods as they move through the supply chain, both in transit and in storage.
