EastWest, a contract manufacturing firm with facilities in

China and Vietnam had, over the years built and perfected a

spreadsheet based prototype to model their vision of

allowing smaller companies the benefit of buying product

manufactured overseas and shipping via entire containers to

reduce the overall product cost.

Shipping is a major portion of the cost and shipping partial

containers is very expensive.

The application built by SolTech, allowed a group of

buyers to order products online and fill up containers.

Container Wizard

With the browser based

tool, they actually can see the

container and its capacity. Once

a container is filled, it ships.

The system automatically takes

into account all the dynamically

changing variables that affect the

supply chain process, and

reduces risk to such an extent

that offshore manufacture

becomes possible for companies

that could not previously consider

this option.

Consultation

• EastWest met with SolTech and analyzed each screen of the

excel model and analyzed each step of the

process, comparing the excel process to the potential benefits

that an automated process could bring. SolTech enhanced the

process by adding parameter driven business rules to the

product.

• SolTech built a web based application that for all intents

enabled a direct ship model that removed the middleman from

the process.

• This reduced costs, and enhanced profitability for the

manufacturer and the client. The visual “Container Wizard”

tool manages the process of efficiently loading and

consolidating shipping containers.

“The Container Wizard application built by SolTech allows our customers to

literally pack a container using the visual tools provided. In this day of rising ship

charges, reduced shipping capacity and increased competition, it’s critical that

that cost is extracted from every step of the process. This SolTech application

enabled container consolidation at a greater level than any of our competitors”
