Overcoming International Logistics Challenges with Smart Logistics Management in the Panel Industry

Background

The panel industry plays a vital role in technology. This case features a prominent panel manufacturer focused on high-value, differentiated product applications. Ranked among the global top 10, the company recently implemented the Glory Cloud Platform to streamline its import/export logistics, addressing complex challenges.

Three Major Challenges
1. Complex Internal Systems and Manual Workload

The company faced challenges with multiple, non-integrated internal systems. Staff had to rely on several platforms for customs and tax procedures, while manual declaration review was labor-intensive and error-prone. Paper-based processes often led to declaration mistakes, resulting in unnecessary tax expenses.

2. Difficulties in Import/Export Assignment and Communication

Poor coordination between sourcers and shipping teams caused imbalances between planned and actual shipment volumes. This made it hard to analyze discrepancies, complicated logistics allocations, and increased costs.

3. Manual Quarterly Price Comparisons

With thousands of logistics cost items, fully manual price comparison processes were time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. The abundance of global suppliers made quarterly logistics cost analysis particularly challenging, affecting supplier evaluation and cost control.

How many logistics companies and global suppliers are managed?

Global Management of 30 international logistics providers and more than 6000 global suppliers.

Implemented Regions and Modules

This case implemented the Outbound, Inbound, and Billing modules in Taiwan.

Problems Solved After Implementation
1. Automated Declaration Pre-Review

The system integrates key data such as invoices and declarations via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), streamlining processes and reducing manual workload. This improves efficiency, reduces errors, and aligns with eco-friendly business practices.

2. Auto Assign for Import/Export Logistics

The platform’s Auto Assign feature simplifies logistics planning, improves allocation accuracy, and aligns with sourcers’ strategies. Managers can evaluate discrepancies for procurement adjustments.

3. Digitized Price Comparison

By digitizing seasonal price comparisons, the platform accelerates processes and enhances accuracy. Tools like scoring and supplier ranking aid in crafting competitive logistics strategies.

Key Features
1. Automated Declaration Pre-Review

Reduces manual effort, increasing efficiency.

2. GEM Follow-Up Feature

Automates reminders for truck drivers, enhancing transparency.

3. Transparent Logistics Tracking

EDI ensures real-time status updates, improving control.

Benefits of implementing the platform

In recent years, the Glory Cloud Platform has revolutionized logistics management for the panel industry, achieving smarter operations with improved efficiency and reduced human errors. This innovation has significantly transformed logistics processes in the industry.

By successfully implementing the platform, the case achieved breakthroughs in handling complex logistics operations, enhancing global supply chain efficiency, and advancing the panel industry’s transition towards intelligent and streamlined logistics solutions.
