very economic system has sectors which produce products and consumer
Ewho need them. And, each product in the history of the industry required a
sound logistics and transportation to withstand the complexities of the
market and the requirement is same till date. The globalized economy is
delivering ever increasing quantities of freight that is increasing the logistical
efficiency and leading to the digital-led innovations that are challenging the
traditional logistics models. This is helping the world to welcome Smart Logistics
– making traffic and infrastructure-relevant data available at real-time and
boosting efficiency in transportation of products.
Within the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, smart manufacturing will play
critical role in national level for the growth of the national economy, but also have
a firm level for the sustainable development of the manufacturing activities. With
the fast-developing Internet technologies and the widely applications of other
information technologies, the future manufacturing is believed that it will be
featured with success characteristics such as adaptability, resource efficiency,
ergonomics, as well as the integration of customers and business partners in its
business and value processes.
The existing as well as emerging market players are taking necessary strides to
embrace new-age technologies and leading to fundamental changes related to
distribution practices. They are converting every challenge into opportunity by
contributing in the market share and also in the bigger slice of the overall
economic pie with profitable outcomes. Using innovative approaches, these
organizations are covering the entire market segment, from logistics to
transportation and creating their niche in this sector.
Transportation execution solutions implemented by tech-enabled organizations
have already demonstrated the ability to significantly enhance logistics operations
by taking customer experience beyond the traditional horizons. The industry is
witnessing rapid changes as Network-based transportation execution solutions has
pre-integrated with many of the carrier and logistics companies in the supply
chain.
The clock of demand is ticking at a faster rate day-by-day. The innovations are
bringing world-class carriers, technology providers, domestic and global
forwarders, materials handeling, equipment suppliers, logistics associations,
logistics real estate specialists, economic development agencies, universities and
leading 3PlSs on a single platform. Lacking available information and missing
integration of existing IT solutions between the planning level and the execution
level are major reasons for many enterprises from the transportation and logistics
failing to realize an optimal setup of process executions. Future-Internet-based
logistics control towers promise a viable solution to such problems.
While achieving overall enterprise efficiency, the dream of any supply chain
professional to design innovative solutions is becoming true which is transforming
the world for better and empowering the Indian economy. Acknowledging which
cutting-edge technologies are likely to roll out in the coming years and their
impact on the existing logistics system is successfully yielding clues to what the
canvas of business world will look like in the near future.

hether by land, air or sea, transportation and
Wlogistics are the pivotal elements for the
businesses to attain profitable outcomes. In this
developing world, where access to the real-time data is
critical, IoT is playing a curated role in optimizing the
critical logistics and transportation operations. Today, this
advent of IoT along with the developing mobile
technologies is connecting all devices across a centralized
cloud network. It is helping to capture, and share the
mission-critical data, allowing gaining real-time visibility
of the logistics and transportation operations.
IoT can provide actionable insights about the Enterprise
Asset Intelligence, aiding the transportation and logistics
industry to expand in following aspects:
End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility
It is necessary to adapt IoT to transform the supply chain
rather than crawling behind in the market.
To impact globally, IoT can provide an efficient supply
chain platform for the logistics and transportation industry.

26. It provides complete visibility and faster detection of issues
which creates a network of timely decision-making. Also,
enhanced supply chain visibility leads to long-term cost
savings.
IoT combines an organization’s online presence with the
physical stores and enables it to collect and make data at
key points in the supply chain. This unlocks the doors for
end-to-end customer satisfaction and successfully optimizes
supply chain responsiveness. Also, automated data capture
helps in avoiding human errors. With the sensor-enabled
IoT solutions, organizations can monitor the location and
speed of vehicles empowering the maintenance operations.
IoT-based connected sensing technology can maintain
temperature stability and minimize the wastage of
perishable products, thereby enhancing the end-to-end
supply chain visibility. It also allows the exchange of
critical real-time information with the stakeholders and
mitigates disruption.
Another major variable which could be managed in a better
manner by the IoT to attain an effective supply chain
visibility is inventory and equipment monitoring. As such,
it would provide predictive maintenance information,
alerting the engineers for the potential breakdowns and
costly disruption.
Managing the Storehouse
A warehouse is amongst the core parts of a transportation
and logistics organizations. More effective management of
the warehouse enables an organization with more advanced
capabilities for prominent execution of the operations.
Tracking vehicles, equipment, and inventory data through
well designed IoT-enabled mobile devices help the small-
scale as well as large-scale organizations to withstand the
market complexities.
Further, the real-time data collection through the physical
devices, storehouses in the transportation and logistics
industry can share every mission-critical data in the
centralized cloud. This ensures on-time delivery of a
particular product at the right location. Thus, the IoT-based
mobile devices at a storehouse will enhance the
productivity highgrounds of an organization by analyzing
the available historical data.
These devices will reduce the risks of manually conducted
routine tasks by the in-house personnel. It will also decrease
numerous visibility related blemishes including indistinct
trailer moves, goods shrinkage, consumed fuel and wasted
time, warehouse gate bottleneck and so on. thereby
fastening the asset and location tracking.
Fleet Management
Fleet management plays a key role in managing
maintenance schedules, everyday vehicle usage, and service
routes. It is necessary to minimize the fleet downtime in
order to attain a profitable business outcome. With IoT-
based scanners, computers and other mobile devices,
organizations can obtain asset visibility and better
streamline operations to keep their fleet moving.
Moreover, the real-time equipment and infrastructure
monitoring through connected IoT devices help field
technicians to successfully take precautionary measures to
avoid the future risks. This provides the organization with
remote intelligence enabling it to manage the fleet and
reduce unnecessary and reactive responses.
Replacing manual and hard-copy orders with the IoT-
enabled operations will improve the fleet performance, save
time and upsurge data accuracy. IoT connectivity enables an
enterprise to communicate with its carters regarding the
in-field repairs, maintenance, etc. Also, they can be
regularly updated on certain conditions such as bad weather
or traffic through this connectivity. This will definitely
manage the fleet in a better manner, increase their safety,
reduce damaged inventory, and decrease insurance-related
costs which are critical to an organization’s bottom line. As
such, it would power the fleet with on-time responding to
the customer service inquiries improving the organization’s
overall performance.
Future Hinges
The constant developments in the mobile technology and
IoT will dramatically take the transportation and logistics
industry beyond the horizons in the near future. Connected
IoT devices will deliver exclusive solutions which will be a
turning point for the organizations to pinpoint inefficiencies
in real time, which will build progressive plans to move
towards innovation. As such, IoT can really make a
difference in a logistics and transportation organization’s
ability of closely monitoring and dealing with more
variables in the upcoming future.

atering innovative solutions to multiple domains
across various global industry verticals, one-stop
shop for the all the logistics requirements;
Uniworld Logistics is one the leading logistics company.
Established in 2002, by M. Prem Kumar, Founder and
Chairman; its mission is to “provide cutting-edge logistic
solutions to its customers by building consistency, fortifying
relationships, nurturing creativity and value learning”. To
get more details about its services and uniqueness which
this company offers we bring you an exclusive interview
with Felicia Prem, Head of Marketing.
1) Kindly brief us about your company.
Uniworld Logistics is one of the largest Freight and Supply
Chain solution providers in Asia. We have 31 offices spread
across Asia primarily located in India, China, Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. The company
has a strong network of around 500 partner offices across
the globe. Uniworld Logistics operates 7 integrated logistics

certified for Customs Brokerage, Freight Forwarding and
Logistics, GDP certified for Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare
and Veterinary products and FSSAI Licensed.
2) Brief us about the Founder and his contribution
towards the upliftment of the company. What was the
source of inspiration for your company to be a pioneer
in the Transport and Logistic Service Providers
segment?
Uniworld Logistics:
Offering All-inclusive Customized
Logistics Solutions
Interview with Insights Success
Our Founder and Chairman, M Prem Kumar started his
career with ISRO. Later on, he moved into the field of
Freight Forwarding and Logistics and has over 35 years of
overall experience. He is well known for his sharp business
acumen, the knack for numbers and his eye for attention to
detail. He is a hands-on leader and promotes leading by
example. M Prem Kumar came with no background in
Freight Forwarding and Logistics but was always hungry
for success and to create his own space, which would be the
talk of the town. He always admired Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam
who once said, “Dreams float on an impatient wind. A wind
that wants to create a new order. An order of strength and
thundering of fire.”
Such has been his desire to stand out and excel when
everyone was looking at the west, especially USA and UK
in the early 2000s, he decided to look east. He ended up
developing China on a growth margin of as high as 35%
every year for a few years, marking Uniworld Logistics as
one of the few multi-million dollar Indian logistics
companies in China. His inspiration has always been his
desire to passionately grow from one milestone to another
and mark Uniworld Logistics on the world map as a major
player in the industry.
3) What are the distinct products and services provided
by your company, setting you apart from your
competitors?
There is a need in today’s world for tailor made solutions,

attempting to improve the overall quality
of talent by providing high quality training
that foster intellectual and personal
development. We are focused on our
mission which prevents us from the risk of
chasing every opportunity that comes our
way. We are working towards building a
cohesive, unified, and meaningful series of
products and services.
5) What is the current scenario of
Transport and Logistic Service
Providers industry, from your point of
view?
Despite weak economic conditions, the
transport and logistics industry is evolving
and growing rapidly. With the
implementation of GST, the logistics
companies, which are were forced to set
up many small warehouses across multiple
cities can set up just a few big warehouses
region-wise and can follow the hub-and-
spoke model for freight movement from the warehouses to
the different manufacturing plants, wholesale outlets, retail
outlets and the various point of sale. The boom of
e-commerce in India has undoubtedly resulted in an
increase in demand for warehouse space and transport
opportunities. Logistics is regarded as the backbone of the
economy as it ensures efficient and cost-effective flow of
goods and other commercial sectors depend on it. With the
promise of improvement and continuous growth, the
logistics industry is ready to expand beyond the horizons.
6) With the massive advancements in the Transport and
Logistics industry, what are the opportunities and
challenges evolving with it?
One of the biggest challenges is the continuous increase of
fuel prices, which thereby increases the cost of logistic
substantially.
The ratio of driver to truck availability is declining by the
day which is leading to higher demand than supply.
Also the ease of e-bill implementation along with reduced
premium of third party insurance for heavy vehicles should
be addressed to ensure justification across all the classes.
The services which are offered by us are Route
optimization, Asset planning, Control tower facilitation,
cross docking, temporary storage, permanent storage,
packaging, JIT, cold storage, temperature controlled trucks
and our expertise also lies in moving heavy and complex
products.
We create value for customers and sustainable advantages
for them by offering varieties of tangible services in distinct
ways, taking into consideration the consumers value
convenience, reliability and support.
We share an implicit and complex relationship with our
customers, which make us unique.
4) What are the key attributes that helped your
company to overcome the challenges?
Strategies and tactics change but the mission can serve as a
driving force behind what you are trying to accomplish. For
our company, everything we do, from a freight forwarding
perspective to warehousing to our transport strategies, is
oriented around our mission. Our mission serves to cement

32. 7) What are the benefits gained by your clients while
doing business with you?
The biggest advantage for our customers is to get tailor
made end-to-end solutions all under one roof. They have
benefits of using a shared facility and assets, thereby
decreasing their overall spend. Web access helps them to
keep a track of their cargo. Use of automation helps them
decrease the time taken and reduces human error. As a
company grows and ships more freight, we at Uniworld can
easily execute this due to the availability of resources such
as trucks, cross dock space, automation etc. We constantly
provide data for our customers allowing the shipper to
make strategic decisions to better drive down their costs.
Due to availability of assets, the customer is able to
successfully procure transportation with less delay. This
makes the warehouse and overall operations more efficient.
With a more efficient transportation system, customers in
Uniworld are reducing the costs incurred in storing
inventory by using models such as JIT.
8) What is the role of your employees behind your
company’s success? How do you keep them motivated?
The success of Uniworld Logistics has always been directly
relational to the performance of all its employees. They
have provided the resourcefulness, inspiration, ideas and
enthusiasm for the success of the company. We have always
identified performance and rewarded them well from time
to time. We engage our employees not only by rewards but
also through CSR activities, team building exercises,
regular huddles and in-house trainings. Recreational
activities are also an integral part of employee motivation in
the company. We constantly work towards making the
office a happy space where employees can benefit from a
positive work environment. We encourage ownership of
tasks and let employees be their own bosses to create a
sustainable culture.
9) What would be your advice for the budding startups
and entrepreneurs in the industry?
Answered by Mr. Prem Kumar
Develop a passion towards whatever you do. It is the fuel to
your destiny and the driving factor magnifying your
abilities. Like Nelson Mandela said, “There is no passion to
be found playing small; in settling for a life that is less than
the one you are capable of living.”
Be innovative. Change is constant, keep your ideas close to
your heart for what probably doesn’t make sense today,
might create great value in the future. Breakthroughs are
always brought on by inventing new ways to solve
problems or creating solutions to disrupt a current trend.
Always dream big. Like they say, the future belongs to
those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Always
move forward and achieve the goals you have set yourself.
Leave no stone unturned.
Lastly, work hard as if there is no tomorrow. The rest will
take care of itself.
10) Brief us about your company’s future perspectives.
Uniworld is into new-age business solutions and wants to
venture into technologically sound future. The company is
currently studying Blockchain and its feasibility of
application in the near future. Uniworld relies a lot on data
analysis for improving sales, operational efficiencies and
customer experiences. We are in the process of making our
gradual move towards Big Data, to organize the treasure of
data for better use. The company wants to further expand its
horizons overseas and build stronger business ties based on
current geopolitical scenarios.
Uniworld Logistics also aims at bringing top of the line
warehousing solutions to India, integrating augmented
reality, machine learning with human expertise to
compliment the upcoming future demands in terms of
technological advancement.

35. Digital technologies have saturated and disordered almost all
segments, and logistics companies are no exception.
Integrating the optimization and efficiency in speed and
seizing the moment are the keys to success in today’s extremely
competitive business market. The developing technology is the key
enabler allowing companies to realize these aspects. Logistics and
transportation are regarded as the backbone of the economy,
providing an efficient and cost-effective flow of goods on which
other commercial sectors depend. The logistics industry is evolving
globally; it is the combination of infrastructure, technology and new
types of service providers. This defines whether the logistics
industry is able to help its customers with cost-effective operations
and effective services.
Leveraging Technology
An Independent analysis reveals that the transportation and logistics
companies are increasing revenue and working with the vision to
standardize and streamline structures and processes. They are
leveraging technology for developing industry oriented and
innovative solutions. They have a strong belief that technology is
the key enabler for strategic planning.
On an average, transportation and logistics enterprises invest about
five percent of their annual returns in digital operations, majorly
focusing on digitizing their customer interface. The thrust these
days is exclusively on mobile apps and solutions that offer a
personalized experience for their customers. However, the majority
of the companies are increasingly using digital technology to
expose new business models, dedicated to the establishment of
value-added services and innovative solutions.

36. Logistics companies are leveraging technology not just to
improve the efficiency of operations, but also to transform
the way operations take place. The use of robots in giant
warehouses is already well-known, as is the driverless,
remote-controlled vehicles. Technology drives a swing to a
customer gripped operating model, allowing the delivery of
personalized and customer-focused logistics, with
immediate and faster cycle times.
Improve Operations through Big Data
The development of the technology influences the
algorithms to crunch Big Data, unlocking acumens and
opportunities that were not possible earlier. These insights
are enabling streamline operations and optimization of the
supply chain. The automation based on data, mainly
automated load structure and augmenting the inbound and
outbound movement of cargo, enables the optimal use of
existing resources. This reduces the generation of the waste
and facilitates lean operations.
Mobile solutions enable greater transparency into the
logistics operations. Effective simultaneous fleet
management solution paves a creative way for uberization
of trucks and other delivery vehicles. An all-inclusive data
based catalog and supply chain management system
exposes silos and eases end-to-end visibility to inventory,
orders, and shipments across the supply chain. This type of
transparency improves the operations associated with
locating the inventory movement. Also, reduces the
network-wide inventory levels, and enable managers to
respond dynamically and in real-time to each and every
event or issue that disturbs the supply chain.
Analytical data and information generates explicit
greenhouse discharges and carbon footprints of truck and
machinery maneuvers. This permits the organizations to
take steps to become a carbon-neutral organization, thereby
supporting Green logistics. The integration of machine
learning in supply chain management empowers turning
piles of passive data into actionable BI.
Enhancing the Security
The disruption in the supply chain creates global business
risks for logistics companies. Besides, technology enables
revitalizing the supply chain in many ways. Digital locks
upsurge the security high grounds of the inventory, offering
robust layers of security in association with the physical
security. The planning of optimum route in combination
with real-time tracking of the cargo movement through the
mobile apps proves essential in navigation, avoids
congestion points and minimizes risks.
Influence of IoT
The IoT has been a vital entity for logistics and
transportation organizations. Integration of IoT in the
logistics is extremely contributing to warehouse
management solutions, enabling precision movement and
accurate tracking and packaging of goods. The
implementation of IoT gadgets in logistics is fundamentally
endless, ranging from tracking the packaged and
transported goods in a temperature- controlled manner for
ensuring the correct package reaches the correct setting at
the specified time and more.
Future Roadmap
The next big thing to arise in the transportation and logistics
industries is the extreme and innovative use of drones. This
extensive use of drones would bring rapidity in things
considerably, decrease the hassles, strain and provide with
efficient and cost-effective operations in transportation and
logistics companies.
The logistics industry continues to witness growth due to
the growth in retail, e-commerce and manufacturing
segments. This industry is expected to reach over two
billion USD in the coming decade. Escalation of
e-commerce logistics and increased domestic consumption
will lead ways towards the industrial revolution in the
coming years. With a potential to grow and improve, the
service-oriented logistics industry is ready to swell beyond
the horizons in the near future.
In addition, the developments in the instant future will
include connected and autonomous trucks, warehouse
robotics, and smart warehouse solutions. This will speed up
the logistics industry operations, and improve their
accuracy and efficiency.

eCourierz to gain momentum and to leverage highly
negotiated shipping rates & better services from Carriers.
Evolving with the Logistics Industry
The e-commerce industry has flourished over time.
Customers across the globe are expecting an excellent
online experience of their products. Due to this, an
increased demand is seen in the tech-advancement features
of logistics industry. Some of these technologies such as
route mapping, tracking vehicles and consolidation of
business have undergone a massive development. With the
help of these technologies, the unorganized players have
high chances to get on track in the logistics market.
Over the period of years, the company has seen some
remarkable improvements in domestic e-commerce
logistics. The Indian e-commerce works on becoming an
export hub. By taking small steps and exploring its options,
the company is set to inflate the exports. As the export
market grows, there will be a rise in opportunities for
international logistics. Presently, the company focuses on
the ecommerce sellers with aim to ease their pain in global
shipping. It is active in helping sellers to operate globally
and also works on expanding its cross border commerce to
as many countries as possible.
Facilitating Sellers to Grow Business
The shipment dispatching of any e-commerce sellers is
expedited through the multi-carrier shipping solutions.
eCourierz has a set of measures like choice, convenience,
and cost reduction, which helps the sellers in scaling their
business across geographies. The company has successfully
catered to more than 5000 sellers. It has built a strong
network and has transferred more than a million shipments
without any hassles, thereby aiding in reduced costs of
shipping management for sellers.
Celebrating a Healthy Workspace
eCourierz operates with a flat organization structure which
provides flexibility in work. With a bunch of young crowd,
it has a friendly environment giving individuals freedom to
grow to their max potential. The co-founders expressed
their views on a healthy working environment and said,
“Team with great energy is built, when vision is clear and
everyone joins for contribution. We believe in flat
organization structure which helps to be always innovative
and excel to deliver.”
The Existing Picture of the Logistics Industry
In the recent times, the logistics market looks disjoint. The
services of each carrier vary depending on their shipping
tendencies. Every carrier has different national, regional,
overnight or same-day services accordingly. But the most
optimal choice is choosing a smart multi-carrier strategy.
Fast-tracking with Time
eCourierz is going to assemble its own virtual carrier
network (VCaN) by connecting various shipping providers.
This AI-driven blockchain solution could be used by the
global shipping carriers, which would assist to identify
specialized service providers for first mile, line haul and last
mile services in the logistics value chain. The company
looks forward to serve logistics solutions to 50,000 sellers
globally in the near future.

42. In the fast-growing global economy, cross-border logistics plays a pivotal role in the growth and success of the
company. Most essential part of international logistics is to find the right 3PL service provider. Working hand-in-hand
with 3PL brings immense difference and value to the company’s supply chain. While deciding on the right 3PL
service provider, the company should always consider below key points:
1) Knowledge Experience: Consider a 3PL service provider that understands your business and its requirements.
This is very important as different commodities have different requirements. So 3PL must have expertise in
handling shipments of your industry. Only when the 3PL service provider has in-depth knowledge of your
industry, then only they can offer the most economical and fastest solutions for your requirements.
2) End-to-End Services: 3PL service provider must provide End to End services. Different buyers have different
shipment terms like CIF, DDU, DDP, DAP, etc. and every time you cannot search for a different vendor. So chose
3PL company that can take care of all your international logistics requirements and can offer complete end to end
services.
