Challenges Faced

  • Processing the freight pickup requests and bills in DueWay accurately and efficiently was always a challenge, especially with the stiff market competition for the workforce.
  • Even though the company spent a lot of money on advertising and engaging with placement agencies, it was hard to locate the right candidates for the freight processing and billing roles. 
  • The company realized that it required a new strategy to source its business process requirements.

Solution

DueWay partnered with FOS Desk for business process outsourcing services to manage freight bills and audit shipper invoices. FOS Desk was able to start handling the freight data of DueWay’s freight pickup through remote access to the data uploaded by drivers under a mobile imaging platform even before the drivers were able to return to the terminal. FOS Desk also audited freight bills and entered information into DueWay’s Transportation Management System. The continuity of personnel in the FOS Desk was vital in ensuring DueWay’s accuracy was not compromised.

Results

  • Increased Freight Movement: DueWay was able to move 10% to 15% more next-day freight over its dock on any given night because correct shipping data became available much earlier.
  • Improved Dock Productivity: DueWay staff no longer waited for load information and received an earlier indication of arriving freight destinations, resulting in faster loading.
  • Enhanced Freight Bill Accuracy: Freight bill accuracy consistently neared 90%, leading to faster and more accurate billing, shorter payment cycles, and increased cash flow.
