Moving the Cold Storage Supply Chain to the Cloud

1. Moving the Cold Storage Supply Chain to the Cloud

2. Building an effective supply chain goes beyond business environments that are traditionally stable. With the rapid technological advancements across industries, all business processes are evolving with increased digitization. To keep up with the dynamic market conditions, it is essential to strengthen supply chain processes with improved security, adaptability, and accessibility. A supply network is no longer simply about physical flows of products and services. The modern-day supply chains now regulate the flow of information, commerce, and resources as well. As the cold chain market is expanding, businesses are on a lookout for efficient methods of monitoring the movement of perishables. Moving the Cold Storage supply chain to the cloud is crucial for keeping track of the quality and location of goods in real-time.

3. Challenges faced by on-premises applications for Cold Chain 1. Spoilage and maintaining quality 2. Disruptions in the supply chain owing to a volatile market. 3. Surging volumes of internal and external data 4. Need for unabated connectivity and visibility 5. Need for flexibility 6. Security risks

4. Agility Let’s say a pharmaceutical supplier located in Japan conducts an audit whose results are immediately required in Brussels. To execute this action, the supply chain needs to be cloud-empowered and digitized, and thus agile and effective. Giving on-request access to stakeholders for real-time data and analytics gives rise to educated business choices. Taking data from an auditor to the headquarter in real-time, therefore consequences from SCM development services through cloud platforms. At Oodles, we design smart, responsive SCM software applications that streamline data sharing in real-time. Connectivity The all-pervading visibility and real-time capacity to receive and alter data creates a supply network of evolved design. It suggests that enterprises are leaps and bounds away from operational hurdles to get in touch with suppliers, traders or customers. Connectivity in the supply chain provides efficient communication, economic resource utilization, and managing liabilities. Access to quality checks through IoD sensors enables controlling the pace of shipping. End-to-end visibility not only saves shipping costs if the product perishes but also ensures its delivery before the expiry time. At Oodles, developers customize web sockets for continuous connectivity and push notification for dynamic notifications into the interface.

5. Fast, flexible, and safe deployment At Oodles, we use a microservices-based architecture that integrates modules from different platforms. Our cloud architecture consists of cloud microservices deployed as a whole. Due to the distributed nature of microservices, the whole execution process occurs swiftly and safely. Since we use caching for speed and reusable dynamic templates, our supply chain software development services are flexible and fast.

6. Cost-effectiveness Cloud Logistics and supply chain software development are SaaS-based, indicating a low entry cost. Developers at Oodles use a relational architecture with modules integrated from different technologies for fast and optimized solutions. Such models not only enhance security but also reduce costs. As a result, it increases business value by converting configuration and integration capital into working capital.
