Logistics Software making Business Efficient
DataQuest
|April 2020
From lost packages to high shipping costs, there are several concerns that plague the e-commerce industry. Adding to the mix is the growing trend of same-day deliveries, initiated by Amazon, an industry-standard that is hard to match by most E-retailers of any size and maturity
-
There’s hope on the horizon with modern-day logistics software that can create transparent and efficient supply chains, enabling businesses to improve their deliveries while reducing their costs significantly.
Here are the top five features enterprises need in logistics software to make their business more efficient and competitive:
Digital Control Towers
A research by American Shipper reveals that almost three-fourths of supply chain stakeholders cite visibility of freight as one of the most critical challenges to their business, second only to rising operational costs. Indeed, being able to track each and every movement of their delivery fleet can give them full control over the supply chain while also reducing logistic expenses.
An advanced logistics software powered by digital control towers leverages real-time data from the largest GPS, ELD, and telematics network to keep a check on the current status of goods moving on the ground. Also, it can empower businesses with instant alerts for exceptions, such as extra time spent at a resting point by a driver, and escalate tickets in real-time.

V. Rajaraman: The teacher who built India's computing mind, no more
When a teacher departs, the blackboards weep. A generation of learners, spread across the world, pause and go back in time, overwhelmed by a quiet sense of gratitude and loss. Such is life, and such is India’s timeless Guru-Shishya parampara, where many jambavans silently walk the corridors of knowledge, leaving behind an imprint that endures long after they are gone.
