Supply chain optimization powered by real-time data and traceability technologies.
🇪🇸 Español:
Implemented the Sou Log+ platform to turn logistics data into strategic insights, improving global component distribution efficiency.
01. Problem
Frasle Mobility operates complex, globally distributed supply chains for friction materials manufacturing, but lacked real-time visibility across logistics flows. Fragmented systems limited end-to-end tracking of goods and components, creating inventory inefficiencies, higher transportation costs, and operational blind spots across multiple regions and transport modes.
Decision-making relied on manual reporting, delaying strategic responses and reducing supply chain agility. Without integrated data, international shipments and production planning operated with limited synchronization, increasing uncertainty and impacting service levels.
Idle fleet time and non-optimized routing further increased operational costs, while legacy systems lacked the scalability required for modern global trade velocity. DB identified the need for unified data visibility, real-time tracking, and scalable logistics intelligence to reduce lead times, improve planning accuracy, and strengthen end-customer delivery reliability.

02. Assessment
DB conducted a deep technical assessment of Frasle Mobility’s logistics workflows and identified severe data silos across business units. It highlighted the need for a centralized platform to aggregate data from internal systems and external partners into a single source of truth.
The diagnosis revealed the absence of predictive analytics, limiting the ability to anticipate supply chain disruptions before they occurred. Logistics was also operating as a support function rather than a strategic intelligence layer for the business.
Lack of real-time tracking for fleets and third-party freight created critical visibility gaps, while manual spreadsheets and informal coordination slowed execution and reduced operational reliability.
DB identified significant cost optimization potential through intelligent route and warehouse optimization, supported by cloud-based infrastructure to ensure global access and scalability.
Critical KPIs were not being tracked in a structured or transparent way. Based on this assessment, DB defined the implementation of the Sou Log+ platform as the core logistics intelligence engine for the organization.

03. Solution
DB implemented the Sou Log+ platform to unify Frasle Mobility’s logistics data into a single, real-time dashboard. The solution introduced live monitoring for domestic and international shipments, eliminating visibility gaps across the supply chain.
It applied data intelligence to detect operational bottlenecks and recommend more efficient, cost-optimized transport routes. The platform was integrated with the company’s existing ERP to ensure data consistency and end-to-end integrity across logistics operations.
Automated reporting workflows delivered daily strategic insights to logistics managers, while cloud infrastructure ensured global access, high availability, and system resilience.
DB enabled a shift from reactive monitoring to predictive, data-driven logistics management through team upskilling and operating model change. A continuous improvement loop was established, where analytics feedback directly optimized distribution flows.
The “visibility-as-a-service” approach delivered full transparency across stakeholders and enabled Frasle Mobility to proactively anticipate delays and adjust production and shipping schedules.
