ADA Enterprises Shipping Challenges

ADA Enterprises struggled with inefficient processes and high costs tied to managing multiple carriers. Unresolved claims and invoice confusion added to the burden, straining both finances and employee resources.

Key challenges included:

  • Poor carrier coordination: Juggling multiple carriers led to missed pickups and poor communication.
  • Inaccurate invoicing: Duplicate or erroneous bills made it difficult to control costs.
  • Limited support: Carriers provided little help when issues arose, leaving ADA on its own.
  • Claims issues: A growing number of damaged freight claims went unpaid or unresolved.
