About MAUSER

QAD GTTE has enabled mauser, europe to standardize their shipment dispatch processes

‍

Founded in 1896 by Dr. Alfons Mauser in southern Germany’s Black Forest, MAUSER combines more than a century of packaging technology experience with a profound understanding of specific market requirements. In the course of their long history they have frequently initiated patents, inventions and innovations that came from their own research and development laboratories. Many of them have become standards in the industrial packaging field.

‍

But that’s not all. MAUSER’s pioneering work in providing a full-cycle production/packaging/reuse/recycling service has maintained their position as an industry leader.

The Challenge

Standardize shipping operations, provide more insight into freight spend and reduce complexity

‍

With a recent ERP upgrade, MAUSER realized the custom TMS solution they were using lacked the major functionality they desired. The incumbent transportation solution served only MAUSER Germany and was developed as a customized local solution. Other countries had either localized solutions or manual processes.

‍

MAUSER desired a standard solution, with minimal amount of customizations to keep the overall cost of ownership low. MAUSER needed a solution that would allow them to standardize their shipping operations and have one view of their freight spend for all carriers across all sites.

‍

MAUSER required more insight into freight spend to identify opportunities to consolidate freight (multiple orders on to one shipment). They knew that without a proper TMS in place this was difficult to achieve. Due to the wide number of carriers used by MAUSER and local business practices there was a significant amount of complexity involved in the shipment booking process.

‍

While not addressed in the scope of this implementation, MAUSER wanted to standardize their Trade Compliance and Global Trade Management needs in the future. Operating as an international business made simplifying its export business activities a high priority.

‍

“QAD GTTE brings us better insight into our monthly spend and gives us the opportunity to benchmark between our different sites with the click of a button.”

The Solution

The amount of time to collate and prepare freight spend reports has been greatly reduced. As MAUSER has multiple shipping sites across Europe it has enabled them to simplify and standardize their shipping processes in one uniform process.

‍

Transportation Execution has also allowed MAUSER to reduce complexity associated with the rate upload and maintenance for several hundred carriers. In addition MAUSER can have increased control over their monthly freight activities for all European sites.

‍

RESULTS

• Enabled standardization of shipment dispatch processes
• Automated their shipping process
• Greatly reduced the amount of time to collate and prepare freight spend reports
• Reduced complexity associated with the rate upload and maintenance for several hundred MAUSER carriers**

‍

“QAD GTTE reduces our time to organize and control all our sea and air freight operations from Europe.”
