Case Study
The Situation
Imagine facing an industry on the brink of disruption, your business weighed down by outdated systems and siloed processes. That was the reality for this logistics company, struggling to compete in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Leadership realized its future success was constrained by its fragmented legacy systems, siloed processes, and a reactive approach that stifled growth and agility. It was a fight for survival, not just against competitors, but against the limitations of its own infrastructure.
But instead of succumbing to the weight, they dared to dream bigger. Leadership hired Joseph Imbriano from OmniKai to serve as interim Director of Business Transformation. Together, the company embarked on a bold journey of business transformation.
This is their story.
Our Approach
1
Aligned Vision
Leadership conducted design thinking sessions, led by Joseph, where it redefined the company's vision, strategic goals, and key priorities.
​
The client then established measurable targets (KPIs) that aligned with the vision, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the transformation.
2
Process Mining: Unearthing Bottlenecks & Efficiency Opportunities
Next, the company meticulously analyzed existing workflows, pinpointing bottlenecks. This deep dive provided crucial insights into the client's operational landscape, paving the way for targeted interventions.
3
Integration & Migration: Breaking Silos & Embracing Cloud Agility
To break down siloed information systems and streamline data flow, modern APIs were implemented, facilitating seamless integration between disparate software solutions.
​
The company transitioned onto cloud-based infrastructure, unlocking agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional on-premise systems.
4
Data-Driven Insights & Improved Decision Making
Machine learning algorithms were introduced to enable predictive maintenance, optimizing resource allocation and minimizing downtime throughout the logistical pipeline.
Interactive dashboards displaying key performance indicators (KPIs) were developed, offering real-time insights into metrics like on-time delivery rates, inventory levels, and customer satisfaction. This data-driven approach empowered informed decision-making across the organization.
5
Organizational Change Management: Building Agility & Employee Buy-In
Success is only as strong as how a workforce embraces and thrives in the change. Joseph partnered with the People Team to develop and execute an agile change management strategy throughout the transformation. Their comprehensive communication strategy kept employees informed, addressed concerns, and ensured smooth adoption of new processes and technologies.
The Impact
17 months passed, and the hard work of the combined team yielded significant improvements:
​
• Optimized workflows and automation slashed operational costs by 26%
• Data-driven decisions sped up deliveries by 11%, reducing errors
• Customer satisfaction rose 13%
​
This transformation journey delivered tangible results, strengthening the client's competitive edge and laying the foundation for sustainable growth. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of aligning vision, leveraging technology, and empowering people through data-driven insights and continuous learning.
