Bay & Bay Transportation

Bay & Bay urgently needed to integrate its on-premise back-office systems (including freight assets and brokerage information) into a cloud environment to reap the maximum sales impact.

For over 60 years, Bay & Bay Transportation's focus has been to provide best quality transportation and logistics management services far beyond its Minneapolis, Minnesota, roots. The company is a leading mid-sized, full-service carrier for freight of all kinds throughout North America.

Challenges

  • Increase revenues in a tough economic climate
  • Accelerate decision-making
  • Maintain margins and optimize the return on the company's technology investment
If Bay & Bay achieves a 1% increase in sales revenues from this Informatica implementation, it will translate into a 900% return on the salesforce.com project.
— Rob Adams, CIO, Bay & Bay Transportation
