“Live chat facility is available for all shipments and response time is maximum 3 minutes. On digital platforms it takes only 3 days to make a shipment – one day each for stuffing the container, Customs clearance and loading onto the vessel. The cost savings is around 20 per cent using digital platforms, but the peace of mind is priceless.” said Mr. Venkata Ramesh, Director & COO of Eruvaka Technolgies.

About Company

Eruvaka develops connected devices and mobile- based decision tools for affordable monitoring and automation of aquaculture farms.

The company’s products allow farmers to actively monitor pond parameters and remotely control automated equipment, which significantly reduces farming risk while increasing feed efficiency, shrimp growth, and farm profitability.

Challenges

Being a regular exporter of Aqua-tech IOT products, Eruvaka has exports to multiple locations of Latin America. As a fast-growing company, Eruvaka was dealing with an increasingly complex supply chain. Sourcing Freight quotes from multiple agents & carriers, back and forth correction, non-visibility into quotes, No exception alert facility and more of that payments still happens over cheque or NEFT led to increasing transport times, which challenged the delay in delivery of consignment to buyer. Being a tech-first company, Eruvaka was looking for a digital partner that could cope with its fast decision-making processes and its overall growth.

Solution

With Boxnbiz as a logistics partner, Eruvaka was able to focus on its core business. Getting the eruvaka team members to use and work with Boxnbiz’s platform on a daily basis was easy thanks to the platform’s intuitive design.

One much loved feature that the team has used most is the ability to have all communication and documentation in one place. Readily available Documentation templates, structured Billing & online payment information enables Eruvaka to complete operations faster. Instant quoting, collaboration platform & digital payments is what they love most.

Conclusion

20% reduction in logistics operation cost & 60 % time saving due to automation and smart data structuring.
