How Luminous Boosted Andes Production’s Efficiency By 20 Percent

When it comes to logistics, efficiency plays a role in making sure a 3PL can make money. If a company is bogged down in manual processes, it might not be able to keep up with demand, manage costs, or present accurate reports. These were the problems that 3PL company Andes Production ran into before it took on Luminous. 

One Andes Production employee stated, “we were doing tons of manual work.” Maintaining relationships with clients became difficult thanks to the lack of visibility into the numbers. As a logistics company, one of the services on offer includes improved efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced flexibility. Outdated methodology was clearly hurting Andes Production. 

Andes Production is a service provider that offers logistics services to support various aspects of shipping and supply chain management. These services can include transportation, warehousing, picking and packing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and freight forwarding. Before the company found Luminous, it had plans to grow, but was hindered by its manual processes and lack of data visibility.

While Andes Production grew, it struggled to use the old, fragmented systems and practices. The company came up with the following ideas in order to continue growing:

• Efficient Inventory Management System
• Client Portal
• Software Compatible With ShipStation

Without these tools, Andes Production would be in trouble–unable to streamline processes and maintain client relations in a timely manner. It often responded to client inventory queries with either time-consuming physical counts or sending yet another spreadsheet. The true value of their inventory was obscure, and processes like receiving and counting were manual and repetitive.

Andes Production started using Luminous with great success–to the tune of $42,000 a year in savings and a 20 percent boost in warehouse efficiency. Furthermore, it was able to use these features to continue to grow its business:

• Reports On Inventory Value
• Automated Processes
• Simplified Inventory Management

These benefits helped Andes Production to better serve clients and to continue to add new clients, in line with its plan to scale over time.

Luminous fit the needs of Andes Production like a glove. Employees saved time and effort by leaning on the automatic processes and the accurate reports. They also appreciated these perks:

• Seamless Installation
• Clean Data
• Very Little System Upkeep
• Quality Customer Service

Employees found more time to work on initiatives outside of long, exhausting manual processes. Furthermore, both productivity and operations received a boost from the software.

For entities like Andes Production, transitioning from fragmented operations to integrated, efficient processes, Luminous proves to be the partner of choice. The tangible benefits in terms of time and cost savings, along with increased warehouse efficiency, make Luminous an invaluable asset for forward-thinking companies.
