“Supply chain visibility is not importantAbility to track various items and products in transit and provide a clear picture of inventory and activity.” To tell kevin tuckerSenior Research Director, Information Technology Research Group. ”Real-time supply chain visibility systems that use real-time information to identify problems can help logistics organizations identify potential problems before they occur and implement solutions that minimize risk and prevent disruption.”
Info-Tech’s research highlights the critical role that real-time transportation visualization systems play in modern logistics strategies. These systems can streamline operations by providing continuous monitoring and updates on shipments, significantly reducing costs associated with delays and miscommunications. By integrating these technologies, organizations can exceed customer expectations and ensure fast and reliable service delivery. This proactive approach is critical to staying competitive in the fast-paced logistics industry.
“More sophisticated visualization systems integrate data from all internal and external sources across supply chain service areas.” explains Tucker. ”This includes data about people, processes, technology, environmental factors such as weather, road conditions, and other factors that may impact product delivery services. These solutions also leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to provide accurate predictions and recommended fixes.”
Building on the capabilities of real-time visualization systems, Info-Tech’s blueprint highlights the transformative impact these technologies have on logistics operations. By leveraging comprehensive data analytics and real-time tracking, logistics organizations can optimize routing, reduce delays, and improve efficiency across the supply chain. This level of advanced visibility system not only reduces risk but also adapts to dynamic market conditions, ensuring logistics operations are resilient and responsive to unexpected challenges.
The company’s blueprint outlines six criteria that logistics organizations should consider when selecting and implementing a supply chain visibility system:
1. Internal data integration: Ensure your system integrates seamlessly with:
- WMS – Warehouse Management System
- YMS – Yard Management System
- IMS – Inventory Management System
- TMS – Transportation Management System
- ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning System
2. Consider external conditions: Visualization systems must incorporate data about external factors that affect logistics.:
- road condition
- weather
- traffic jam
3. Processing external data: Effectively manage data interactions with external parties, including:
- Third parties and third party logistics
- customers, suppliers and partners
- Contractors, Warehouses and Agents
Four. Real-time decision making: The key processes that are enhanced using real-time data are:
- route planning
- driver communication
- expense management
- proof of delivery
- loading status
- data management
Five. System selection: Choose a visibility system that aligns with your organization’s goals and integrates well with your existing tools. Examples of visibility systems include:
- project 44
- Four Kites
- bloom global
- transpoleon
- TMS first
- macro point
6. Cyber security measures: Implement robust cybersecurity solutions to protect data integrity and privacy.
Info-Tech’s latest blueprint highlights the strategic benefits of real-time transportation visibility systems, positioning them as critical tools for strengthening supply chain resilience and efficiency. By implementing such systems, organizations can improve their logistics operations and adapt more effectively to unexpected market changes and disruptions. This approach not only increases operational reliability but also significantly increases customer satisfaction and ensures that organizations are well-equipped to meet the challenges of a dynamic supply chain environment.
