Challenges
Mondelez, a behemoth in the food and beverage sector, faced significant challenges in their freight quotation processes. The process involved exchanging numerous spot freight quotations via email, often sent to three different service providers. Managing these quotations was a complex task, as each had its own exchange rate and specific fees. Consequently, the team spent precious time on these manual tasks, which hampered operational efficiency.

Check out the testimonial from Janine Ferro, Transportation and Foreign Trade Manager at Mondelez International
“When we introduced Cheap2Ship at Mondelez, we faced significant challenges in our quotation processes. The team was spending a lot of time managing various spot freight quotations, each with its own exchange rate and fees. We managed to sell the idea of Cheap2Ship to the team, which promptly recognized the solution to our pain points. After successfully implementing it in foreign trade, we caught the interest of Mondelez Mexico, which also saw the value in the platform. We expanded its use to national transportation and eventually to other transportation areas, including transfer and outbound transportation. Today, Cheap2Ship is integrated into our foreign trade and national transportation processes, saving time and making everyone involved happier and more efficient in their respective roles.”
