Big Data and predictive analytics has far greater role to play in saving costs and optimizing operations. The data can be generated from multiple mediums; it could be through GPS Trackers, RF sensors, Mobile devices and it becomes very important to collect this data and store it.Petabytes of data is going to be processed daily, so we need to make sure that all the data is being crunched properly to produce useful insights which can help companies to take required actions.
This is where the smart technology comes into picture. The cutting edge technology has enabled the industry players to come up with products which could help us to cater to all the legs of logistics ranging from First Mile, line haul or last mile. For example the delivery scheduler helps to schedule the deliveries keeping in mind the no of deliveries, availability, capacity and the time slots in the best possible manner. It is integrated with Warehouse Management System (WMS) for schedule based loading/unloading.
The reverse logistics is efficiently planned on the route of forward logistics. The major benefits include:
1. Optimize Operations To Meet Time Bound Deliveries
2. Measure Performance And Track SLAs With Transporters
3. Pay Delivery Boys Based On Distance Travelled
4. Measure Daily Planned vs Actual Number of Deliveries
In the pursuit of continuous innovation and to learn from the best in this industry we have partnered with professors at Carnegie Mellon University and University of Illinois in the US to bring best of the skills in data sciences domain to Indian market.
Information is one the the levers in to uncertain demand. Without information we do not have any idea about the demand. As the world advances into integrating technology, supply chains have drastically reduced cost increased efficiency and responsiveness.
