Client: A logistics leader supporting major fresh-produce suppliers needed a stronger foundation for time-sensitive transportation workflows. Their teams relied on manual steps spread across regional units, which created delays and limited visibility.

The company handled high-volume produce shipments for grocers, yet critical data lived across separate inventory, warehouse, and delivery systems. This fragmentation created operational friction and made it difficult to maintain consistency and accuracy across the supply chain.

Fresh-cut products carry strict delivery expectations and regulatory requirements. The client had to uphold speed, quality, and traceability at every step—while managing cost and labor constraints across their network.

Challenge: The client needed to improve the way transportation data flowed across regional produce units. Their teams relied on manual inputs for planning and execution, which slowed daily operations and raised the risk of avoidable errors.

Key issues included:

• Fragmented workflows between transportation systems and enterprise applications
• Limited visibility across fresh-produce shipments and related handoffs
• High labor effort tied to manual documentation and communication
• Delays caused by the absence of real-time tracking and route insights
• No unified view of temperature compliance for sensitive products
• Siloed grocer inventory data that prevented timely, automated deliveries
• Difficulty forecasting volume and routing needs without predictive tools

Fresh-produce logistics leave little room for inefficiency. The client needed a single platform that reduced operational friction, strengthened compliance, and improved the speed of field-to-store movement.

Solution: Lumenalta created a cloud-based transportation management system that connected the client’s delivery network with grocer inventory systems and warehouse operations. The platform replaced manual steps with automated workflows and brought critical data into one place.

Real-time tracking, temperature monitoring, and route insights were built directly into the system, giving teams an accurate picture of each shipment’s status. These capabilities supported fresher, higher-quality deliveries and reduced compliance-related risk.

The platform also introduced predictive analytics to guide volume forecasting, route planning, and cost reduction. Paperless documentation and mobile accessibility made it easier for teams to work in the field without delays or interruptions.

The solution was delivered on a modern stack—including React, PostgreSQL, RESTful APIs, and a cloud platform—to support scale, stability, and long-term extensibility.

Outcomes: The unified system strengthened coordination across the fresh-produce supply chain and reduced the operational load on internal teams. The client gained a clearer picture of shipments, timing, and quality, improving overall flow from farm to store.

Results included:

• Centralized transportation management across inventory, warehouse, and delivery systems
• Real-time tracking with temperature monitoring for quality and compliance
• Predictive analytics that improved forecasting and reduced costs
• Paperless workflows that reduced errors and manual effort
• Mobile access supporting field-to-fork responsiveness
• 59% increase in profits linked to improved efficiency
• 29% reduction in full-time-equivalent effort
• 9% decrease in cost per pound of vegetables

These gains gave the client a more reliable, cost-efficient, and timely path for delivering fresh products at scale.
