An oil and gas company was using a TMS (Transportation Management System) that did not meet its logistics and auditing needs. This situation hampered freight management and led the company to unnecessarily hire third parties.
The consulting services provided by ILOS conducted a comprehensive diagnostic to identify the company's specific needs regarding a new TMS (Transportation Management System). ILOS sought suppliers capable of meeting the established requirements and carried out a thorough evaluation of each one.
The analysis involved interviews with the suppliers' clients, as well as the construction of proof-of-concept tests that simulated key operational scenarios. These tests were presented to and evaluated by both ILOS consultants and the client's team.
Based on the results, the most suitable supplier was selected and a transition plan was developed. ILOS also calculated the estimated CAPEX and OPEX for the implementation of the new TMS system.
