AeroLink Logistics: Automating Global Supply Chain Workflows
The Challenge
Hamburg-based logistics firm AeroLink Logistics operated a global shipping network but struggled with manual data entry bottlenecks. Dispatchers spent hours copying manifest details, matching them against warehouse inventory levels, verifying customs declarations, and routing dispatch alerts manually.
The Engineering Solution
Webx Horizon deployed comprehensive business process automation services to unify their data infrastructure:
1. Decoupled API Routing: We built a custom integration layer that connects their CRM and ERP systems directly, automating order logging and inventory checks.
2. Automated Document Compiling: Customs declarations and shipping manifests were configured to compile automatically, extracting key details from client order forms.
3. Decoupled Management Dashboard: We built a custom tracking dashboard using React, letting coordinators view active dispatch states instantly without page lag.
The Results
* Transaction Processing Speed: Consolidated manual manifest tasks to complete in less than 2 minutes, down from 24 hours.
* Manual Data Entry Errors: Reduced transcription and entry errors to 0%.
* Dashboard Initial Load: The consolidated tracking interface maintained a low load speed of 0.29 seconds globally.
