New Delhi [India], January 27: Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities Ltd, one of India's leading manufacturers of premium biscuits and bakery products, has partnered with Traqo to digitize their international logistics operations and enable end-to-end visibility across ocean freight movements.
Mrs. Bectors has delivered strong growth with double-digit YoY revenue increases in recent quarters, expanding its domestic and export operations. It sells biscuits under the Cremica brand and bakery items under English Oven through retail, QSR, and B2B channels, exporting to over 65 countries worldwide. Efficient logistics is critical to minimize delays and costs in global supply chains.
Mrs. Bectors has implemented Traqo Ocean (Container Tracking) to:
- Minimize detention and demurrage charges with real-time tracking of containers and Bills of Lading across 170+ global carriers, including Maersk, COSCO, and Hapag-Lloyd.
- Access insights on current locations, accurate ETAs, key milestones, and proactive delay alerts from a unified platform.
- Digitize ocean freight monitoring, eliminating multiple carrier portals, emails, or calls.
- Improve control with automated alerts, daily reports, ERP integration, and AI-driven analytics.
This enables:
- Sustainable cost savings by reducing manual efforts, detention/demurrage, and leakage through early visibility.
- Better operational control and faster decisions from a single source of truth.
- Improved service reliability and customer experience with proactive updates.
- Stronger carrier accountability via performance insights.
"We used to waste hours daily chasing fragmented updates across carrier portals, often facing last-minute delays and hefty demurrage charges on our Biscuit exports. With Traqo's Ocean Module, all containers are now tracked centrally with automated alerts and accurate ETAs, cutting manual effort by 70%, reducing detention costs significantly, and enabling better production planning. Sharing live tracking links has also slashed customer queries by 80%, while the analytics dashboards help us negotiate 10-12% lower freight rates."
Tahmir Khan, Sr. Manager - IT Application, Mrs. Bector's Foods Specialities Ltd.
"Ocean freight delays stem from lack of timely information, not lack of movement. Fragmented visibility across systems forces late reactions and higher costs. Platforms like Traqo consolidate container and Bill of Lading data into one view, enabling better planning for inventory, production, and customer commitments."
