How digital indent management cut vehicle sourcing time by 75% for a paper manufacturer
Our client is an India based paper manufacturing company which produces high quality writing and printing paper with an annual production capacity of half a million ton. Our client faced numerous challenges in its freight procurement process. The process lacked visibility and transparency. Raising indents to procure vehicles was a manual time-consuming process which lacked efficiency and resulted in data loss.

What's in this case study?
An India based paper manufacturer with an annual production capacity of half a million tonnes ran its freight procurement manually, raising indents offline and tracking allotments over calls and spreadsheets. The process was slow, offered no visibility into transporter acceptance or vehicle placement, and lost data along the way. Freight Tiger digitised the entire indent to placement workflow, giving the team one connected view of every indent published, accepted and fulfilled.
The result: Truck sourcing time fell by 75%, Day 0 placement efficiency reached 87%, and 99.8% of vehicles reported within 48 hours of indent publication. Dispatch planning is now predictable, and transporter performance is measured on verified data rather than follow up calls.
