Closer Pets | Retail | 40 | $4M | United Kingdom | Flexport | Flexport Platform | Real-Time Transportation Visibility | 2023 | n/a | In 2023, Closer Pets implemented the Flexport Platform for Real-Time Transportation Visibility to streamline inbound operations and centralize shipment tracking. Closer Pets is a British pet technology company with a global presence in over 40 countries, and the Flexport Platform was adopted to address chronic visibility gaps that had previously extended order fulfillment windows and complicated shipments from Asia to the United States. The implementation emphasized SKU level visibility and container level tracking within the Flexport Platform, enabling automated shipment updates and reporting visibility that team members can access directly. Factories were configured to upload container information into the Flexport portal, reducing manual coordination, and the platform was used to surface forecasts and delivery status to internal stakeholders for operational planning and sales lead time estimation. Operational coverage provided through the Flexport Platform includes door to door ocean freight orchestration, import export process handling, trucking coordination, and customs clearance management, with exploratory use of sea air combinations for faster transit. The deployment supports inbound logistics from Asian manufacturing sites into multiple destination markets and contributed to Closer Pets expanding into territories such as Australia. Governance changes centered on decentralizing visibility and shifting routine status inquiries from one supply chain manager to self service through the platform, which replaced heavy reliance on phone and email. Process restructuring included standardized container upload workflows from factories and centralized shipment reporting, which streamlined coordination and reduced delays in processing containers upon arrival. Outcomes stated by Closer Pets include estimated savings of £10,000 within the first three months of using the Flexport Platform and improved cash flow driven by quicker bookings and greater shipment transparency. The enhanced Real-Time Transportation Visibility capabilities led to faster decision making, fewer manual status requests, and supported the company in scaling logistical operations into new markets. | |
