Customer Success Story_____________

Real sweet rewards for United Sugars.

Automation is the key focus for US giant United Sugars Corporation (USC). The lean transportation department, consisting of six people, moves a quarter of the sugar in the United States. This made it key that Westernacher implemented a seamless and reliable automated solution for truck and rail movements. USC also wanted to remove third-party dependency for handling rail freight invoicing and automate its rail planning and execution functionality.
