Cerrowire Background Cerrowire, a producer of copper wire for commercial, industrial, and residential applications, has been an Echo client since 2020. As a major manufacturer, Cerrowire's throughput is an extremely important metric, requiring a busy day-to-day operation to manufacture and ship as many pounds of copper as possible. For Cerrowire's customers, speed to market is the biggest factor for success, and delivering orders On-Time, In Full (OTIF) is essential. That's where Echo comes in. "With the help of Echo's expert team and technology, we were able to save by using Echo's transportation management system instead of purchasing our own. We were able to focus on expanding our business rather than shopping around for and implementing software. This allows us to provide efficient and reliable daily service to our customers." — Ryan Thurston, National Logistics Manager at Cerrowire
