Hear from Jean-Sébastien Decorde, one of the Transport Managers at Tereos Group, as he explains how Tereos uses Alpega TMS to improve operational reliability, safety, and sustainability.
The challenge: building operational reliability with a focus on sustainability
“Our clients expect us to deliver to their sites without errors. Delays of six hours can immediately lead to operational issues, such as factory stoppages."
– Jean-Sébastien Decorde, Transport Manager, Tereos Group
Managing 250,000+ transport movements annually comes with significant challenges.
For the Tereos Group, these movements are critical to ensuring the seamless delivery of sugar, starch, and alcohol products from their shipping sites to client factories. Any delays can lead to significant production disruptions for their clients, impacting operations and customer trust.
Beyond operational reliability, Tereos is also addressing the growing demand for sustainability in logistics. The company has been actively working to decarbonize its transport operations as part of its broader commitment to environmental stewardship.
To meet these challenges, Tereos needed a robust, integrated system capable of managing the complexity of its supply chain while ensuring safety, reliability, and sustainability at every step.
The solution: Alpega TMS and Shippeo live tracking
“With Alpega TMS, we’ve been able to invest more time in improving the performance of our processes. Tasks that are now managed by our TMS, such as the automatic allocation of transport providers, free us up to focus on other priorities.”
– Jean-Sébastien Decorde, Transport Manager, Tereos Group
Tereos first implemented Alpega TMS over a decade ago to streamline its logistics operations. The system automates key tasks, such as transport provider allocation, and ensures standardized communication with logistics partners.
In 2024, Tereos integrated live tracking via Alpega’s partner, Shippeo. This added a new dimension to their logistics management by providing real-time visibility into transport movements. The integration allows Tereos to proactively address potential delays, track CO2 emissions, and improve customer satisfaction.
The results: real-time visibility, better communication, and greater satisfaction
"With live tracking, we’ve tracked over 80,000 transport movements since summer, and we’re targeting 160,000 within the next year."
– Jean-Sébastien Decorde, Transport Manager, Tereos Group
In just a short amount of time, the combination of Alpega TMS and Shippeo has delivered measurable results for Tereos:
- Real-time visibility of over 80,000 transport movements, with plans to double that number in the next year.
- Improved operational reliability by addressing delays proactively and minimizing disruptions.
- More effective carrier communication, including automatically allocating transport providers to new transports.
- Sustainability tracking, including CO2 emissions analysis, supporting Tereos’ decarbonization goals.
- Greater customer satisfaction, thanks to better communication and increased agility.
