The use of digital tracking technology to help with the supply chain management process seems like it may be overwhelming, could add more work to the process, and further complicate things. This couldn’t be further from the truth. With the addition of new technologies, like freight visibility software, managers can now consolidate that data collection into one dashboard – keeping detailed tabs on all of their shipments at once, allowing them to streamline the shipping process and increase the overall efficiency of their transport business model.
Completely integrated supply chain management software allows you to view intricate data on every shipment on one screen. There is no need for trying to track down third party, manual updates from drivers. Shipment managers can automatically call up real-time data on any truck on one of their shipments and look up current location, suggested route, ETA, any delays and adjust their schedules accordingly and easily update customers.
The main purpose of any supply chain or logistics software is to integrate all of your shipments under one platform for monitoring. With most current fleet tracking programs, you don’t even need to have the vehicles with telematics, you can just use any smart device that has the respective freight visibility app installed on it. This means the process of integrating an updated tracking program into your business model is easier than ever, allowing your business to save even more time and money.
For any business, the goal is to increase profits. This can be done in many ways, either by increasing revenue, cutting costs, or increasing efficiency. By simply integrating a fleet tracking program into your supply chain model you can increase your company’s operating efficiency at a near exponential rate, allowing you to maximize profits. In addition to the increase in profits, you’ll be offering a better service to your customers because of the increase in available data that helps you provide intelligent solutions–so it really is a win-win.
