Digital adoption is one of the most notable trends in the logistics industry, rewarding organizations with better cost-savings and efficiencies. Industry leaders are transforming their logistics workflow with AI/ML-based Transport management Systems. Let’s explore the difference it makes in logistics: Workflow- Decentralized execution makes it difficult to manage logistics. Siloed processes are prone to human errors and might result in significant losses. Redundancy is a concern across the supply chain. With TMS: TMS solutions unify siloed operations via a holistic platform. This digital platform enables logistics managers to monitor and execute all process stages and single-window collaboration reduces follow-ups. Visibility- Lack of visibility into the process stage restricts control over co-occurring activities. Logistics managers indulge in prolonged follow-ups to get on-time updates. It results in sub-par escalation and incident management. With TMS: TMS solutions enable 360-degree visibility into every operation. GPS-SIM-based tracking allows real-time tracking shipments with ETA. All deviations are captured in real-time, simplifying management. Planning- Manually storing and analyzing crucial data can hinder planning stages. The absence of execution strategies leads to errors, high TAT, high detention costs and financial losses. With TMS: Automated data capturing and analysis ensure proactive strategies. These roadmaps enhance control, risk mitigation approaches and indent allocation stages. Decision making- Manual data interpretation results in visionary decision-making and planning. Lack of insightful reports leads to sub-par vendor selection strategies, reducing customer satisfaction. With TMS: Digital analysis of vendor performance and load distribution metrics improves decision-making. Real-time analytics and dashboards enhance service quality and reduce operational errors. Objectives mapping- Visionary strategies affect objective formulation. Logistics teams cannot gain insights into industry trends and dynamicity, resulting in inefficient goals. With TMS: TMS solutions help the logistics teams with visible insights into the industry demands and trends to map strategic goals. Cloud-based data and analytics improve objective roadmaps. Performance matrix- Organizations fail to understand the current status of their logistics performance or identify the pain points affecting the scope of improvement. With TMS: Digital TMS enables logistics managers to track operational performance as per pre-defined KPIs, ensuring that they meet industry standards. Audit compliance- Manual audit cycles are exposed to multiple errors. No visibility leads to subpar auditing, affecting the overall performance and logistics budget. With TMS: Logistics TMS solutions offer 100% audit compliance with automated capturing of all activities. Cloud-based data ensures strategic justification and budget compliance.
