Challenge
Amidst a period of rapid expansion, operation optimization has become a priority.
One of its main obstacles was having all the data from its logistics operations dispersed across different platforms. This led to spending a lot of time on administrative tasks and information management heightening the risk of errors.
As carriers, they found themselves having to check the customs clearances, insurance policies, payment methods, shipping company, and shipment details on different platforms. This fragmentation not only heightened the likelihood of human errors but also significantly expanded the amount of time dedicated to managerial tasks.
The second main challenge they faced when managing shipments from different platforms was payment processing. Most freight forwarding platforms and marketplaces extend payment timelines to 60 to 90 days, which introduces additional complexities to carriers' financial management and their cash flow.

Solution
Since using the CtrlChain system, these operational challenges have been resolved, to the extent that in less than a year they have expanded their fleet from 15 to 35 trucks!
With CtrlChain, the necessity to navigate through various platforms for essential information became obsolete. Now, every piece of data, from shipping company details to payment methods, is centralized on a single, accessible platform.
This consolidation allows the entire Matex team to swiftly access and manage all orders, complete with reference numbers, eliminating the need for external consultations.

CtrlChain's human support is what makes the system unique compared to the competition. While the tool focuses on digitalizing and optimizing the logistics workflow, it's the human-centric approach to customer service that truly sets CtrlChain apart. This level of personalized support, combined with the platform's visibility and expedited payment processes, cemented CtrlChain as an invaluable partner for Matex.

Moreover, CtrlChain enhances its service offering with a mobile app that allows drivers to autonomously oversee the entire delivery process from receiving the pickup details and instructions to uploading the CMRs in seconds.
"The app is important to them; they know they need it and they use it as part of their tasks during the loading and unloading process."
