The project

- Optimise the monitoring of import and export freight forwarding activities, standardise operational practices, digitalise processes, improve team efficiency and peace of mind, enhance customer satisfaction, increase productivity and reduce paper-based processes.
- Design, together with operational teams, a "control tower" software solution capable of managing and monitoring the various stages of a transport flow, fully interfaced with the Transport Management System (TMS).
- Prepare the functional and technical specifications for the solution.
- Conduct a tender process with IT development service providers and recommend the most suitable solution.
- Manage and oversee the development of the software solution.
- Support operational teams during the deployment and go-live phases.

Our results

- Designed a tailor-made solution validated by operational teams, including the formalisation of current and target processes, delivery of a software prototype, and definition of the associated business rules.
- Supported Vatinel in selecting a local software development partner through a detailed specification document and a structured tendering process.
- Monitored the development of the solution and its interfaces and supported the successful deployment of the tool with on-demand assistance for operational teams.
- Led change management activities with Vatinel teams to facilitate user adoption and maximise the benefits of the new solution.
