Location Intelligence Moving Business Forward

An automotive manufacturer wanted to eliminate warehouse-to-production delays which could lead to line stoppage. By keeping track of the trailers in the yard, and managing their dashboard, GPX’s platform was able to alert the team that the trailer had not yet arrived in the correct location, even though the driver reported arrival. This helped eliminate confusion and delays caused by misrouted trucks.

A leading construction team wanted to improve project efficiency and improve operations on the jobsite. GPX Intelligence helped managers gain visibility on various materials, tools, and equipment across multiple job sites in order to secure the materials. But, they also discovered that several project were short equipment, while the same tools were sitting idle on a different project. They were able to identify which of their equipment fleet could be redistributed, saving money on last-minute rentals.

A manufacturer found that certain materials were regularly being stolen from their project sites. With the help of GPX Intelligence, they were able to tag their key assets and discovered that they were one of several hits in a theft ring of similar items in their area. With the help of authorities and leveraging the data provided by GPX, the thieves plans were thwarted and the crime ring was stopped.

A manufacturer needed to keep their production line working and reduce line stoppage. They didn’t know where to begin, as their supplier communication and accountability was difficult to navigate and the problem often seemed out of their hands. After tagging their returnable containers in their supply chain with GPX tracking devices, they gained visibility and were able to understand when too many returnable containers accumulated at the supplier. This enabled the manufacturer to become more proactive and increase communication to ensure their workstations had the items needed on time while holding the supplier accountable for SLA’s.

An automotive manufacturer wanted to eliminate road and parking lot congestion when too many trucks were queued in their lot. By keeping track of arriving trucks and managing to their Dwell Report Dashboard, the manufacturer and GPX Intelligence were able to better allocate resources as the shipments approached for check-in and an expedited load and off-load of materials.

A manufacturer needed to reduce their re-orders on returnable containers, as these were costing the company millions of dollars in repurchases each year. This also meant that successful execution would result in fewer emergency pick-ups from the supplier whenever containers were too numerous. It would also reduce hot deliveries of containers when suppliers were running low. The manufacturer and GPX Intelligence achieved these results after applying tracking technology to a small portion of the manufacturer’s container fleet, and re-orders went down, and expensive last-minute shipments were avoided.
