## Global Reach, Limited Line of Sight and Control

JR286’s supply chain spans the globe, and its 
manufacturing partners ship to wholesale clients, 
brand headquarters, and independent distributors. 
Managing such a complex web of interlocking partners 
and shipments became too overwhelming to control 
effectively.

**To gain control and avoid chaos, JR286 needed:**

This problem also 
hindered the JR286 
sales team from 
being able to sell 
products proactively, 
as they had to wait 
for inventory to 
be logged into a 
local warehouse. 
The company’s 
most urgent need

was better cross-function and cross-division visibility 
across their supply chain – something they weren’t 
getting from their network of conventional freight 
forwarders.

• A centralized platform to deliver a single point 
of truth and synchronize booking, conversations, 
visibility and shipment tracking across teams.

• A better way to book freight and optimize 
shipments.

• Product-level reporting and analytics to 
empower sales growth and improve inventory 
turnover.

## Wins with Shippabo: The Technology to Manage a Global Supply Chain

Shippabo’s platform and expertise was a huge win for 
JR286. Moving cargo across and between continents 
became much easier with Shippabo’s powerful ability to 
track any shipment (whether from Shippabo or another 
forwarder). This clear view of their inventory production 
chain and exact shipment status helped both their 
logistics and sales teams work more efficiently.

JR286 also enjoyed an optimized freight procurement 
strategy, courtesy of Shippabo, that helped them reduce

company more than 30%.
