WIEGAND Development and production supplier to the automotive industry
WIEGAND is a high-performance development and series supplier to the
automotive industry based in Germany. For more than 30 years, the
company has manufactured and distributed metal and plastic parts for
leading automotive manufacturers - including major OEMs - and exports
its product range worldwide.
WIEGAND's logistics team manages general cargo, LTL, and FTL
shipments as well as special trips within Germany and the EU - with a
clear focus on reliability, cost efficiency, and complete transparency
across all carriers.
Oyaso supports WIEGAND in the digital handling of land transport - from
calculation and order placement through to direct transfer into freight
forwarding portals.
Manual processes without transparency over carriers and costs
manual spreadsheets. Without a central overview of rates, orders, and carrier performance, structured management was hardly possible.
Missing rate transparency
Less-than-truckload rates based on postal codes were not structured. Shipment costs had to be calculated manually4error-prone and timeconsuming.
No central order management
Transport orders were issued individually by email. A complete overview of issued orders, carriers, and lanes was missing.
No reliable reporting
Without digital capture of all shipments, it was hardly possible to create reports on carrier performance, drop-off rates, or revenue.
Low acceptance among carriers
New processes were initially received skeptically by carriers. A simple, familiar way of working was crucial for adoption.
Digital land transport handling - calculate, assign, evaluate
WIEGAND uses Oyaso as a central platform for handling all land transports. Stored postal-code-based rates enable immediate shipment cost calculation.
Orders are assigned directly in the system and – thanks to LSP integration – automatically transferred to the carrier portal. All shipments are fully
recorded and can be evaluated.
Rate-based cost calculation
Stored piece-goods rates based on postal codes enable immediate, precise calculation of shipment costs - without manual research or follow-up questions.
Digital order assignment
Piece-goods orders and special trips are assigned directly via the platform. All orders are centrally recorded, traceable, and evaluable.
LSP-Integration & automatische Übertragung
- without media breaks, without double entry, without time loss.
Complete reports & evaluations
Comprehensive reporting shows drop-off rates, assigned orders, revenues, and relations per carrier - for informed strategic decisions.
One system. All road transport. Full control.
Carrier individual report for strategic management
The carrier individual report is one of WIEGAND's most frequently used features. It shows, by carrier: delivery quotas, assigned orders and order quota, revenue, routes and shipment volume, as well as a direct quote comparison between carriers. This creates a data-based foundation for negotiations and partnerships.Postal code-based calculator & direct order placement
Stored piece-goods tariffs based on postal codes enable immediate cost calculation. Orders are placed directly in the system and automatically transferred to the freight forwarding portal - a seamless process without media discontinuity.By centrally recording all shipments, we now have full transparency over our entire transportation network. Especially valuable is the combination of precise calculation and direct order placement: the fact that our partners use the platform to its full extent and that we can now transfer orders
seamlessly creates enormous time savings. Thanks to the detailed analyses of drop-off rates and routes, we can also evaluate our freight partners objectively at any time. The feedback from the team and from the logistics providers has been consistently positive.”
