65%
Drop in Logistics Errors

About

True Classic, a premier men’s apparel brand, scaled from $2M to over $300M in revenue within five years. As a global e-commerce leader, optimizing logistics costs and accuracy was critical to sustaining its rapid growth.

Saras Analytics delivered the operational intelligence we needed. By surfacing SKU-level inefficiencies, we increased preferred warehouse utilization by 20% and saved $0.40 per order. These aren't marginal gains, this is a real bottom-line impact!

The Challenges

  • Each 3PL partner had distinct reporting formats, frequencies, and tech stacks, leading to complexities in standardising the ingestion process.
  • Shipment cost reports arrive at different intervals (weekly, biweekly, monthly), causing delays in cost tracking and financial reporting.
  • Executive dashboards are updated with weekly updates instead of real-time data, leading to delayed decision-making and potential financial misreporting.
  • Integrating data from multiple sources, such as SFTP, Google Drive, and Netsuite, necessitated tailored solutions for each partner.
  • Lack of real-time insights prevents proactive cost control and optimization in logistics operations.

The Solution

Saras built a fully automated fulfillment cost intelligence platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP):

  • Centralized cost data ingestion from NetSuite, SFTP, and Google Drive into BigQuery
  • Standardized cost logic to ensure accuracy across partners
  • Real-time dashboards on Looker for live
