SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT

The problem to solve

A defining difference between XPO Logistics and its competitors is its tech-savvy approach to logistics – but it wasn’t always that way.

In 2011 XPO realized the systems they had in place lacked efficiency and involved many manual procedures, which slowed the process and reduced accuracy.

In order to remain competitive, they needed to refine their current processes, improve their systems, and lower their costs.

They approached Tiburon Data to find a solution to modernize the order process and increase efficiency.

The Tiburon team went above and beyond our expectations, even building us a custom portal to see their process in real-time. They were not asked to develop this, rather doing so as a value addition. They overwhelmed us with their capability.

Tiburon Data's Cost-Cutting Innovative Solution

Our team analyzed XPO’s existing systems to uncover all areas of inefficiency. We proposed a strategy to modernize processes, speed up order processing, and ensure accuracy.

Tiburon Data’s software development team created a custom software solution and an innovative client portal to display workflow status in real time.

We also assembled a skilled, cost-effective team to perform meticulous data transcription, accuracy assurance, and order processing. We scaled up this team rapidly to over 100 full-time staff within a couple of months.
