Automating Freight Forwarding Processes to Move Cargo More Efficiently

Speed Global Services (SGS) is a growing freight forwarder and customs broker committed to offering personal and customized shipping experience to its customer base. Over the years, the company has expanded from a regional Logistics Service Provider (LSP) to servicing customers worldwide. As part of its growth trajectory, Speed Global Services has been adopting best-in-class technology to ensure that it remains productive and competitive.

“Speed Global Services is a full-service supply chain solution providing shipping of domestic and global freight,” said David Reed, General Manager, International, at Speed Global Services. “Providing logistics with premiere customer service has helped us differentiate our service offering, and technology is one of the key factors that helps keep us efficient. Solutions that can further boost our productivity are critical to keep operations running smoothly.”

“As part of our adoption of innovative technology, we have been using Descartes OneView™ for both clearing shipments and moving multimodal freight. The technology’s automation, statistical analysis, and recordkeeping have added value for us. For example, the ability to clone similar entry summaries has offered us time saving capabilities and reduced repeated manual data entry. Every click or action that enhances efficiency frees bandwidth for us. Beyond this, the document management enables us to seamlessly maintain our recordkeeping requirements digitally and retrieve documents on-demand.”

Streamlining Processes with Best-in-class Technology

“From a business analysis perspective, the custom statistics has proven to be insightful. We clear shipments that include Partner Government Agency (PGA) data, and we created a report that enables our warehouse to know which shipments have been released from holds as the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) updates come in. This greatly helps to streamline processes and ensure that shipments get to our customers as soon as they’re available.”

“It is the local customer service that really sets Descartes apart with our questions prioritized and quickly addressed. Descartes’ customer support team is almost an extension of our team since they continuously add value to help ensure that we derive maximum utility and efficiency from the solution."
