CHALLENGE

Navigating global complexity

Managing complex multi-modal supply chains across more than 55 countries could create major operational hurdles for Logistics Plus. Its team relied on manual, paper-based workflows and legacy reporting systems that lacked real-time visibility. Operational data was trapped in isolated silos across international offices, while newly acquired companies added incompatible tools and datasets. These hurdles made it difficult to manage global warehouse space, accurately classify customs tariffs, or predict delivery delays.

APPROACH

Centralizing analytics and AI with B EYE

Partnering with B EYE, Logistics Plus migrated to Qlik Cloud Analytics and stood up a Snowflake architecture to harmonize disparate global data. Tableau and legacy reporting tools were replaced in favor of unified Qlik dashboards, and Logistics Plus embedded Qlik Analytics, Qlik Predict forecasting, and generative AI chatbots powered by Qlik Answers directly into its proprietary client web portal, MyLogisticsPlus™. As a result, users can seamlessly query complex structured data and unstructured sources such as customs documentation.

RESULTS

Precision, speed, and proactive service

Logistics Plus transformed its operational responsiveness. Reporting processes that previously took days or weeks are now delivered in seconds. Shipment error rates have plummeted to under 1%, while data quality and currency conversions have been standardized globally. Qlik Answers enables rapid navigation of thousands of pages of tariff regulations, while Qlik Predict provides early delay warnings, and warehouse space utilization and daily staffing accuracy now approach 100% efficiency.
