 of documents and communication methods. Now, drivers can enter their assignments themselves on Dashdoc, which saves a tremendous amount of time for operations, and there is much less paper to sort.

 Before, it could take up to a whole day; now it’s done in a few hours. On top of that, eCMR has enabled us to invoice earlier because we no longer have to wait for drivers to bring back paper documents. Dashdoc has helped save 10 days on invoicing time.

 If they have questions, the dispatcher can provide information immediately thanks to step-by-step tracking of the delivery process. As a result, exchanges are simpler and satisfaction levels are higher.

Group Ruiz

the Ruiz Group has successfully combined family heritage with entrepreneurial growth. With locations in Castelnaudary and Le Boulou (South West of France) 

nearly 90 trucks, 110 employees, and 17 million euros in revenue

, the group has established itself as a key player in transportation and logistics in the south of France.

Under the leadership of Lisa Ruiz, a representative of the third generation, the company has taken a significant step forward: modernizing its transport management system with Dashdoc. This project, both strategic and operational, has proven to be a true performance booster.

1,000 monthly shipments on Palet System are now automated.

More than just a software change, Dashdoc has enabled the Ruiz Group's employees to structure their processes, regain control over their time, and strengthen customer relationships. All of this while staying true to the Ruiz Group's family DNA: 

evolving the company with dedication, commitment, and a lot of heart, all while looking firmly toward the future.

The story of the Ruiz Group began in 1967

 when a man, Mr. Ruiz, decided to venture into the road freight transport business with a few trucks and a lot of courage. Through hard work and determination, he laid the foundations of a family business deeply rooted in its region.

, took over the reins. He inherited his father's entrepreneurial spirit but had a broader vision. Under his leadership, the company expanded its scope. Thierry structured the business, developed services, and pursued an ambitious growth strategy. Between

Lisa's father is the group's director and also leads business development, her mother manages the finances, and her sister Justine is in charge of human resources. Meanwhile, her partner Sébastien is the operations manager. Lisa herself is responsible for billing as well as implementing tools like Dashdoc. She has been immersed in the world of transportation since she was a child.

Lisa joined the company in 2014 as an apprentice and has since held various roles, from operations to billing.

Challenges and Motivations for Changing the TMS

Before adopting Dashdoc, the Ruiz Group faced several challenges with their previous management software and organization. The processes required 

manual scanning of documents and time-consuming data entry

, which slowed down operations. Having already experienced Dashdoc for eCMR, Lisa considered using Dashdoc as their TMS to 

 their transport management system. Her familiarity with the interface, gained through the

While Lisa and her father were convinced of the advantages Dashdoc could bring to their business, the Ruiz Group is a family-run company,

 so it was necessary to convince the entire family before adopting the solution.
