Unlocked 12% Working Capital for a Global Manufacturer Through B2B Express Services
The bearings and rotating equipment industry is a cornerstone of industrial growth in Asia, with India emerging as one of the fastest-growing manufacturing markets. The Indian bearings market is projected to nearly double in value over the coming decade with strong annual growth, driven by expanding automotive, manufacturing, infrastructure, and energy
sectors. Bearings are essential for reducing friction in machinery underpinning the performance of motors, pumps, compressors and other rotating equipment.
Within this landscape, our customer is a century-old industrial manufacturer with large-scale production facilities across multiple Indian cities, serving both domestic and global markets in automotive, energy, railways and aerospace. Operating on just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing principles, their supply chain demands high reliability, minimal damage and cost-efficient logistics to ensure uninterrupted production and on-time deliveries.
Driving Efficiency with Technology Enabled Surface Express Solutions
As part of our B2B express services, we have been managing Part-Truck Load (PTL) transportation for the customer’s JIT-driven operations across India since 2020 from their centralized distribution centre in Pune. The engagement was designed to scale their supply chain with greater efficiency, visibility and control through technology enabled surface express logistics.
Part-Truck Load Services:
Transportation planning was re-engineered through load consolidation and optimized multi-destination routing, enabling cost-efficiency while maintaining consistent service levels across all lanes. Sustainability practices were embedded into transportation planning, alongside strict adherence to safety and regulatory standards, ensuring responsible and compliant operations.
Technology & Automated Operations:
Real-time tracking dashboards and API integrations were deployed to enable end-to-end shipment visibility, supporting proactive decision-making and tighter coordination across stakeholders. LogiXPS, our B2B Surface Express technology platform was implemented to enable shipment tracking, transparency and data-driven control.
Operations Excellence:
Reliability during peak demand was ensured through scalable manpower and optimized storage, complemented by dedicated on-site teams at the customer’s premises to manage timely collections, load allocation and document sorting. It helped in creating a synchronized, high-performance surface logistics ecosystem aligned with their production and distribution requirements.
Igniting Success for a Global Bearings & Rotating Equipment Manufacturer in India
Our technology-enabled Part-Truck Load (PTL) transportation solutions delivered measurable improvements across cost, reliability and scale.
- 12% reduction in inventory holding costs.
- 261% increase in monthly volumes handled.
- 30% reduction in product damages during inland movement.
As consumer demands diversify and supply chains evolve, integrated transportation and technology-led logistics become critical to driving consistency, efficiency and control. Through optimized PTL operations, real-time visibility and operational excellence, we enable manufacturers to strengthen supply chain performance.
