Meet Brand Name Distributors

Brand Name Distributors is a top distributor of name-brand products in the NYC Tri-State area. Over the past five years, they’ve expanded from offering just a few products to now carrying thousands of items with great prices. Their goal is to give their customers personal and professional service through their knowledgeable sales team. They use state-of-the-art software to manage their 3 warehouses and over 150K sq footage space.

The Challenges

Brand Name Distributors faced a dual challenge in their shipment management:

  • Dealing with multiple sources of tracking data like different shipping lines, ports and terminals
  • Keeping the data up-to-date in a google sheet

Gathering real-time updates from various sources like different shipping lines, ports and terminals websites consumes valuable time and resources, leading to inefficiencies and the risk of missing crucial details, creating an inefficiency in their overall shipment management process. Sometimes they didn’t know the shipping line and they had to spend some time and sending some emails to find out the shipping line to track their shipments.

“Auto Detect lets you track your shipments even if you don’t know the name of the shipping line and what is better than that?” said Diana, Logistics manager at Brand Name Distributors.

A big portion of their work hours was dedicated to verifying information from multiple sources and maintaining their internal Google Sheet. This process was not only time-intensive but also susceptible to errors, which posed challenges in terms of efficiency and accuracy.

The Solution 

Visiwise addressed Brand Name Distributors’ challenge of checking multiple sources for tracking information by centralizing all data into one accessible platform. This streamlined their shipment tracking, eliminating the need to navigate various websites and systems.

Additionally, the potential integration with their internal system offered time-saving automation, reducing manual data input. With Visiwise, Brand Name Distributors achieved greater efficiency in their shipment tracking, allowing them to concentrate on core business operations.
