Project Management Solutions: Transportation

Company Profile
This 80 year-old multibillion-dollar corporation faces a fast-paced market. In order to stay competitive, the Company offers a set of over 30 different incentive packages.

Problem
The Company needs to sort through 30,000 customers to assign the correct package, and then create and ship CDs with those rates to the relevant customer. Sending out the wrong CD can mean under or overpricing a customer.

Solution
Transmedia developed code using customer-provided criteria to sort through the records. With this information, we were able to come up with production requirements for each individual CD. Custom data reports are sent out to 300 different locations across North America. CDs are the replicated or duplicated and sent out to customers.

Results
• Efficiency – No need to coordinate vendors. Data is sorted, copied onto CD and sent from the same location.
• Fast Shipping – We are able to ship to most locations in the continental United States in three days using ground shipping, due to our central location in Kansas.
• Accuracy – Our experience working with similar projects means we have established quality control procedures in places to ensure correct data and correct shipments.
