ogistics is the lifeblood of global supply chains that keep businesses thriving. The past few years have witnessed some of the greatest disruptions in global supply chains. The transition to the digital core is necessary for companies to navigate such unprecedented supply chain challenges.
Girteka Logistics, a Lithuanian Company, and Europe’s leading asset-based transport services provider embarked on a digital transformation journey with Novigo and SAP just as businesses grappled with the pandemic’s effects on the global supply chain landscape. Thus, digital transformation meant leveraging intelligent technologies for rapid cargo delivery to build agile, resilient, and transparent supply chain networks that lead to revenue growth, data-driven decision making, and enhanced service levels.
Novigo and Girteka for Predictive Supply Chain Management In its endeavor to become a truly digital trucking company, Girteka Logistics needed a Transportation Management Solution based on the SAP Digital Supply Chain Platform that could make the transformation smooth, scalable, and sustainable. The move meant an evolution from reactive to a predictive supply chain management leveraging sophisticated contract and order management, customer collaboration with EDI, real-time visibility, operational efficiency, data insights workflow backed decision-making and lesser billing disputes. Novigo helped the company tailor a state-of-the-art Transportation Management Platform comprising end-toend digitalization of core processes. Novigo’s collaborative-customer partnership approach proved to be the cornerstone of successful remote service delivery in these challenging times.
About Girteka Based in Lithuania, Girteka Logistics is one of the largest European asset-based transportation companies, transporting more than 1 million full truck loads (FTLs) every year. The company grew from 600 trucks in 2010 to 8,000 trucks in Europe, Scandinavia, and CIS countries. With more than 23,000 professional employees, Girteka Logistics became a leading full truckload (FTL) transporter chosen by the largest global companies. Digital transformation of their operations required automation of processes, increasing the efficiency of core processes, increasing transportation execution visibility, and enhancing the customer experience.
