Context and Challenges
The company was managing employee transportation manually using Excel, which generated high costs, inefficient resource allocation, and operational delays. To transform this challenge into a strategic opportunity, the company collaborated with Share IT Smart, which proposed ET Plan, an advanced solution for transport optimization through simulation and automation.
âš Baseline - Identified Challenges
The company was facing multiple difficulties that required immediate attention and strategic intervention.
Automotive Manufacturer - 1000+ Employees
A manufacturer in the automotive sector with over 1000 employees faced major inefficiencies in managing employee transport on overtime days.
Main Problems Identified
| Problem | Potential Impact | |
|---|---|---|
| Inefficient manual planning | Time-consuming and error-prone data entry processes | |
| Inaccurate estimates | Planning based on imprecise data affecting transport coordination | |
| High shipping costs | Fixed carrier rates generating significant expenses regardless of vehicle occupancy | |
| Escalated overtime costs | Costs became even higher on overtime days due to unoptimized resource allocation | |
| Excessive vehicle requirements | Company needed 42 vehicles daily even with fluctuating attendance | |
| Lack of optimization system | No intelligent system to optimize routes and resource allocation |
