You spend hours as a logistics analyst copying rates from carrier emails into Excel, checking for errors, and reformatting tables for your TMS. Every update means tedious manual work and the risk of missing a better rate. It’s easy to let outdated data slip through, costing your company thousands.

What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In financial services logistics, analysts waste valuable time manually entering new carrier rates from PDF attachments and emails into Microsoft Excel or SAP. Each update requires cross-referencing historical rates and reformatting data for upload into Oracle Transportation Management. This repetitive process not only drains 1.7 hours every week but also leads to costly mistakes and missed savings.
