Agistix Assists Maxim Integrated Products
With the Agistix on-demand, carrier-neutral global logistics management solution, Maxim Integrated Products gained control and visibility of its global freight shipments, resultingin an immediate cost reduction.
With 2005 net revenues of more than $1.6 billion, Maxim Integrated Products is a multinational leader in the design, development and manufacture of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and has 8,000 employees across its global facilities.
Business Challenge: With facilities around the globe, Maxim found it extremely challenging to control shipping and distribution practices or to maintain any consistency in vendor quality and pricing. Maxim sought a solution provider that could meet four primary goals to address its global shipping cost management challenge:
- Centralize the decision-making process for how goods are shipped and with what carrier
- Enforce strict parameters on shipping methods and vendor selection
- Reduce overall costs of shipping and distribution
- Simplify management of huge volumes of weekly invoices from multiple vendors
