Overnight PTL Delivery Across 9 OEM Corridors — Zero SLA Breach in 12 Months

The Challenge

An international manufacturer of braking systems needed to supply spare parts to 9 major OEM vehicle assembly plants across India. The OEMs operated with tight inventory buffers, requiring next-day delivery slots on a consistent basis.

Standard PTL services on these routes were unpredictable, often taking 48 to 72 hours due to hub consolidation delays. These shipping delays disrupted JIT production lines and triggered heavy SLA penalties under the manufacturer's supply contracts — creating both financial and reputational risk.

The Intervention

DNS established a synchronized, Time-Definite overnight PTL network across the 9 primary OEM corridors, purpose-built to meet the demands of automotive JIT supply chains.

• check_circleSpecialized high-cube container trucks running scheduled, non-stop overnight routes — no intermediate hub stops.
• check_circleAutomated generation of GST e-way bills and highway FASTag tracking, enabling vehicles to pass through interstate border checkpoints without delay.
• check_circleA dedicated DNS client dashboard with live transit data integrated directly into the client's WMS via API, eliminating the need for manual tracking inquiries.
• check_circleSynchronized departure windows coordinated across all 9 corridors to guarantee consistent next-day arrival.

The Quantified Results

"Running nine corridors on a time-definite overnight schedule isn't just a logistics upgrade — it's a structural change to how the supply chain is managed. That 35% reduction in buffer stock alone paid for the programme."
