Read the source ↓What the company did
Uber Freight describes Colgate-Palmolive using Insights AI with its transportation management teams to investigate network performance. A customized dashboard focuses the analysis on on-time performance, carrier utilization, lane volatility and cost per mile, helping staff choose issues to investigate.
How it went
The July 2025 provider account says Colgate had used the tool over the preceding year and describes a move toward proactive planning. It provides no quantified Colgate savings or reproducible evaluation of insight accuracy.
Worth knowing
- The analysis depends on transportation data and logistics staff context within Uber Freight’s proprietary platform.
- For your desk: Confirm the on-time definition, comparison period, lane mix and shipment count behind a flagged change before altering carrier allocation or service plans.
