Freight Transport

Savi Networks has tracked more than 100,000 truck shipments through Free Trade Zones in Thailand over the past three years, enabling Western Digital and Royal Thai Customs to realise dramatic process improvements, cost savings and quick customs clearances

As a result of these ongoing supply chain benefits, Thai-based TIFFA EDI Services and Western Digital have extended contracts for the SaviTrak intelligence service for another year

The ability to automatically validate, track and collaborate on the status of truck trailers filled with high-performance hard drives has streamlined supply chain business processes by 50%, reduced manpower by 25%, cut Customs clearance steps by 60% and increased data accuracy by up to 100%

SaviTrak monitors the location and security of shipments locked with electronic seals as they're transported within a Free Trade Zone, and automatically communicates status information to Royal Thai Customs authorities The shipments are automatically checked at key locations such as manufacturing loading docks, entry and exit gates and Customs inspection stations

The operation involves agreements between Savi Networks, Western Digital and TIFFA EDI Services - the Thai-owned and operated company that runs an electronic document exchange service centre specialising in Customs formalities and logistics
