in Logistics.
For several years technology has played a very crucial role in streamlining the processes across
industries. The same revolution can also be seen in shipping companies too. Logistics has been
revolutionised by technology. Many logistics companies are moving away from redundant data
bases and are moving towards more tech savvy innovations in order to improve their operations and
improve the quality of their services.
Let us see some of the path breaking innovations and technology that is changing the face of
shipping and logistics:
1) Creative alternatives to physical transportation – With the increasing use of drones and
robotics the logistics sector has benefitted largely and in many ways. This has also reduced
the manual work and costs associated with transportation. Forward planning of the
shipment has become possible because of these technologies and this has also made it
possible to know the exact delivery date. Geofencing integration will also help in tracking of
the goods and will send a notification to the team when the vehicle crosses a particular
location. GPS will also enable complete visibility of the consignment.
2) Increase in transparency and accountability – Use of technology has also helped in
increasing the overall transparency in the shipping and logistics business. This is also helping
businesses to improve their overall efficiency and mobilisation of the resources. By
integrating technology it will help in streamlining the entire process and expediting the
whole process. Increased transparency will also help in increasing the efficiency of the entire
process. Detailed information can help the shipping companies to keep a track of the
shipments, optimize the routes, and figure out the need for drivers and vehicles for various
assignments.
3) Improves cost effectiveness – The innovations in logistics are helping in making the overall
businesses profitable and viable. Digitization has helped in maintaining online records of all
the contracts, keeping a track of all the bidding process, and many other things. It has also
enabled to provide an online platform to manage everything with an effortless ease. In
addition to that it also helps in avoiding redundancies and duplicates. Also keeping the
record online also helps the drivers to apply for loans. In short, technology helps to bring
more financial credibility along with cost efficiency.
4) Easy traceability of the shipment – Earlier customers used to book shipments and get the
expected delivery day but due to enhanced GPS System they can track the exact location of
the shipment, plan ahead of time and also helps in building trust. This also helps in saving a
lot of time and resources as the notifications are received automatically by the customer and
the logistics company does not have to employ someone to cater to customer queries
with regards to shipment status.
5) Filling the supply chain gap – One of the biggest challenges faced by the logistics company
was the gap in supply and demand. Latest technology allows the downside and upside of the
supply chain team to know the out of stock items. Decreasing human involvement and
