HP Inc. logistics operations in Latin America wanted to standardize and automate repetitive manual processes and increase efficiencies by integrating inbound orders and operational activities into a single platform. Activ’s platform, ActiVate, enables the HP logistics team to achieve digital transformation and provides a single point of view for all inbound orders across all modes and service providers. The project includes collaboration and coordination with key third-party logistics (3PLs), freight forwarders and transportation service providers, transporting goods out of Asia into Panama or the U.S. and on to Central and South America through multimodal routes. The connection of multiple systems into a single point of view allowed visibility and supported HP’s Latin America logistics team’s multiple initiatives including receipt management, cross-dock versus putaway capabilities, container prioritization, overages and shortages, and claims and damage management.
