From Fragmented Data to Fluid Dynamics
Your supply chain is your biggest asset, but it's likely held back by disconnected systems, manual workarounds, and a frustrating lack of real-time visibility. This "digital friction" leads to costly errors, missed opportunities, and an inability to react to market shifts. A unified Digital Hub isn't just another piece of software; it's the central nervous system for your entire logistics operation, transforming siloed data into synchronized, intelligent action. It’s the difference between reacting to yesterday's problems and proactively shaping tomorrow's outcomes.

Proven Success in Digitizing Logistics
We don't just talk about transformation; we deliver it. Explore how we've helped companies like yours overcome their biggest challenges and achieve remarkable results.
Case Study: 3PL Efficiency Overhaul
Industry: Third-Party Logistics (3PL)
Client Overview: A mid-sized 3PL provider in the USA was struggling to scale. Their operations were fragmented across multiple spreadsheets, a legacy TMS, and manual email communication, leading to high operational costs, frequent errors in billing, and an inability to provide clients with real-time visibility.
Key Challenges:
- Lack of a single source of truth for load management.
- Time-consuming, manual processes for booking, dispatch, and invoicing.
- No client-facing portal for shipment tracking or reporting.
- Difficulty in analyzing lane profitability and carrier performance.
Our Solution:
CIS developed a unified, cloud-based Digital Hub that integrated TMS, billing, and client communication into one platform. Key features included:
- An automated load-tendering module that matched loads to the best carriers based on cost and performance.
- A real-time visibility dashboard aggregating data from carrier ELDs.
- An automated freight audit and invoicing system that eliminated manual errors.
- A self-service client portal for booking, tracking, and accessing documents.
"CIS didn't just build us software; they re-engineered our core processes. The Digital Hub has become our central nervous system, allowing us to handle 50% more volume with the same headcount. It's been a true game-changer for our scalability."
Case Study: Carrier Network Optimization
Industry: Asset-Based Carrier
Client Overview: A large regional carrier with over 500 trucks faced challenges with asset utilization and deadhead miles. Their dispatch system was outdated, providing limited visibility into driver availability, HOS, and optimal routing, which impacted profitability and driver satisfaction.
Key Challenges:
- High percentage of empty miles (deadhead).
- Inefficient manual dispatch and load planning.
- Lack of proactive maintenance scheduling, leading to downtime.
- Difficulty providing accurate ETAs to customers.
Our Solution:
We developed an intelligent Fleet & Dispatch Hub integrated with their existing telematics. The platform provided:
- An AI-powered planning engine that suggested optimal load pairings to minimize empty miles.
- A centralized dashboard showing real-time truck locations, driver HOS status, and ETAs.
- Predictive maintenance alerts based on engine data and mileage.
- An automated communication workflow to keep customers updated on shipment status.
"The intelligence CIS built into our dispatch platform is incredible. Our planners are now strategists, not just dispatchers. We're running a much leaner, more profitable operation, and our driver turnover has decreased because their routes are more efficient."
Case Study: Retail Omnichannel Fulfillment
Industry: Retail & E-commerce
Client Overview: A fast-growing online retailer was struggling to manage inventory across its three warehouses and fulfill orders efficiently. They had no system to determine the optimal fulfillment location, leading to high shipping costs and split shipments.
Key Challenges:
- No unified view of inventory across all locations.
- High shipping costs due to inefficient fulfillment logic.
- Inability to offer customers complex delivery options (e.g., BOPIS).
- Slow order processing times during peak seasons.
Our Solution:
We built a custom Order & Inventory Management Hub that sat between their e-commerce platform and their warehouse systems. The hub provided:
- A real-time, aggregated view of all inventory.
- A rules-based engine that automatically routed orders to the optimal fulfillment location based on shipping cost, speed, and inventory levels.
- Integration with major shipping carriers to automate label generation and tracking.
- The foundational logic to enable future Buy-Online-Pickup-In-Store (BOPIS) capabilities.
"CIS gave us the control we desperately needed. Our fulfillment is no longer a black box. The intelligent order routing alone saved us six figures in the first year. We can now confidently scale our business without our logistics falling apart."
