Standard Forwarding Transforms Customer Self-Service & Cuts Invoicing Costs by $350,000 annually, with WebCenter
Standard Forwarding LLC is a less-than-truckload (LTL)
carrier with 17 terminals throughout the Midwest. Standard Forwarding provides
overnight service within and between Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Minnesota, southern Michigan, and cities in Missouri and Nebraska. It operates
a modern fleet with 350 tractors and 800 trailers. In 2012, it was named Great
Lakes/Midwest LTL Carrier of the Year for the fifth consecutive year in Mastio& Company’s annual Value and Loyalty Benchmarking Study.
Over the years, technology―including onboard systems and track-and-trace capabilities―have been fundamental to the company’s continued success.
Standard Forwarding, seeking to improve the efficiency of its document-intensive invoicing process and to develop self-service functionality for customers, worked with Redstone Content Solutions to transform its invoicing process and customer-service capabilities. Standard Forwarding deployed Oracle WebCenter Content to automate paper-based invoice creation and delivery, saving $350,000 annually in processing, paper, and personnel costs.
Redstone Content Solutions also helped
Standard Forwarding launch a new, easy-to-navigate Website with expanded
capabilities enabling customers to conveniently manage every phase of the shipment
lifecycle from a single location. Redstone implemented Oracle Application
Development Framework (Oracle ADF), Oracle
WebCenter Capture, Oracle
WebLogic Server, and Oracle
WebCenter Content to build the powerful new solution.
