Success stories in Transportation Procurement

Mitr Phol Sugar is Thailand’s and Asia’s biggest sugar producer, and is in the Top 5 for largest sugar production capacity worldwide. Mitr Phol’s fully-owned logistics company, Fast and Fair, was challenged to deliver Mitr Phol’s products on time due to a lack of visibility and a lengthy, manual process for managing disruptions. Blue Yonder’s transportation management solution supports an on-time delivery rate of up to 90%, while also reducing the annual logistics spend by 5%.
