The Results
Challenge for the Customer
The customer was managing a rapidly expanding transportation operation with more than 700 vehicles supporting high-volume steel logistics. Critical processes such as contract tonnage tracking, trip documentation, fuel monitoring, and vehicle maintenance were handled manually across multiple locations. Data was scattered across spreadsheets and paper records, making it difficult to track committed versus delivered volumes, control operational costs, prevent breakdowns, or measure vehicle and route profitability in a timely manner.
How eresource ERP helps
eresource Transportation ERP centralized all core transportation and fleet operations on a single platform. The solution enabled structured management of long-term tonnage contracts, automated consignment and trip workflows, real-time monitoring of vehicle movements, controlled fuel and on-route expenses, and preventive maintenance planning. Integrated accounting and reporting provided management with accurate, real-time insights across contracts, vehicles, and routes, replacing fragmented manual processes with data-driven control.
Difference between other ERPs and eresource ERP implementation
Unlike generic ERP systems that require heavy customization or partial adoption for transportation operations, eresource ERP is purpose-built for complex logistics and fleet environments. The implementation focused on industry-specific workflows such as tonnage commitments, trip-wise costing, fuel variance tracking, and tyre lifecycle management. This ensured faster user adoption, minimal process compromise, and end-to-end visibility without relying on external tools or parallel systems.
Outcome
The organization transitioned from a manual, location-dependent operation to a centralized, enterprise-scale logistics platform. Real-time visibility into operations improved cost control, reduced downtime, extended asset life, and enabled accurate profitability analysis. With standardized processes and reliable data in place, the customer is now equipped to scale operations confidently and support future growth without increasing operational complexity.
