BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

FJ Cargas is a freight forwarder company that specializes in ocean freights. I am a documentation and account executive.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Linkchar Software & Consulting, and what were your goals?

We were having problems with our container booking department. We work with multiple freight companies and the process was being done manually. In recent years, demand for containers has been increasing constantly so booking containers from freight companies have become exhausting and costly work. We were looking for a solution so we got in touch with several IT companies that provide business process automation.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We chose Linkchar because they managed to understand our problem perfectly and provided excellent possible solutions compatible with our structure and budget. Fluid communication was a very important factor.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

They designed and coded a network of booking bots. One for each freight provider and with configuration parameters that allowed us to modify the bot's actions and provide specific client and cargo information. All of these run on a web platform for easy management.

The first phase of the project was the discovery phase in which the team analyzed each of our provider's platforms and evaluated the best tech stack to tackle the problem. After this, the next sprint was the design of the platform (ux/ui). Once this was approved, we divided the development into phases. First the coding of the bots, and then the supporting platform.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

There were 5 people on the team, including 3 senior developers, a designer, and one of the founders as project management.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We received the project in the agreed timeline. This was a key requirement for us. We gave feedback before the last delivery and the team had the best predisposition with us. The automation gave our employees extra time and the increase in booking confirmations allowed our sales team to raise the montly sales.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Our first meeting was in person. It was our first experience with this kind of technologies solutions but Linkchar representatives were great at explaining technical details and possible solutions for our problem. After this, we continued with some quick meetings over Google Meet, and after the scope of the project was defined, our booking department maintained constant fluid communication through Slack. For process tracking, we used a Trello board.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

One of the founders was involved in the project as a project manager. He assured us that we get a quality product and was in every detail of the project. He always listened to our doubts and understood perfectly our problems despite not having knowledge in our field.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We had our initial doubts about the price, but in the end, we realized that the quality of the product was worth it.
