Discover How SAAS Automotive Reduced Operating Costs With MachShip

Learn how SAAS Automotive reduced operating costs and increased quality of production from their distribution centre by consolidating freight management operations within MachShip.

SAAS Automotive are a wholesale and eCommerce supplier of after-market car accessories, proudly proving high quality products to car enthusiasts since 1954.

Tom Purvis has managed SASS’s warehouse operations for the last four years and shared how consolidating freight management into MachShip has reduced operating costs and improved service levels.

Given carrier services, rates and surcharges constantly change, Tom feels strongly that the only way to know the best price for a given freight movement for sure is to compare all possible rates before booking the freight; a manually intensive process too time consuming to be feasible given the need to log into each carrier portal individually. In MachShip, Tom found a technology solution that solves this exact problem. The MachShip route optimisation engine determines the carrier services that meet the requirements of the freight movement and prices each service, factoring in all costs such as fuel surcharges and GST. With the best value services at the top of the results list, Tom can be confident that his team are selecting the right service for the job every time. "Unless a business has a system that consolidates all their pricing and returns live pricing you cannot say you’re working in a way that is more efficient."

The MachShip customer success team will work with you to setup your account and train you to be self-sufficient in all core workflows and account admin. Tom found the experience of moving to MachShip very straight forward. "Seamless. There is always some initial pushback from the team because it is new technology however that was overcome really, really quickly."
