Reduction in supply chain costs

Continents under one platform

Spreadsheets in daily operations

The Challenge

DBW ran a complex multi-continent supply chain almost entirely on spreadsheets. With factories in Europe and Mexico serving North American customers, every handoff was a potential breakdown — and nobody had end-to-end visibility.

The Solution

Orkestra unified DBW's global operations on a single digital platform and stepped in as their 4PL for North American logistics management. Real-time tracking, automated exception handling, and a single operational view replaced the patchwork of spreadsheets.

The Results

DBW cut supply chain costs by 18% while gaining true end-to-end visibility for the first time. Operations moved from reactive firefighting to proactive orchestration — and the team can finally focus on growth instead of chasing updates.

Key outcomes

18% reduction in supply chain costs

Full visibility from factories in Europe and Mexico to customers in North America

Transitioned from spreadsheet-driven processes to real-time platform

Outsourced North American logistics management to Orkestra as 4PL

"Orkestra improved our logistics from the 'Stone-Age' with its digital platform that provides full visibility from our factories in Europe and Mexico all the way to our final customers in North America."
