How Logistics Management Software Can Improve Supply Chain Visibility By Bart Kempff For the past ten years, Bart Kempff has worked in the logistics sector, focusing in the delivery of medical devices and the transportation of fuel.

They can map real-time freight positioning, integrate their business apps, and address logistical problems thanks to it. In order to manage billing, accounting, freight delivery, inventory, and to grow the company using technology to reach more customers, logistics automation is assisting businesses do the following: 1.Transportation Logistics :The transportation logistics sector links a company’s customers, vendors, and providers. Providers of logistics services can control their supply chain, monitor the delivery of products in real time, boost customer happiness, and increase profit margin. Using technology to improve logistics, supply chain, and transportation reveals operational efficiencies as well as new business strategies. For instance, logistics firms offer same- day dispatch services to e-commerce businesses and their clients. Value chain optimization is producing win-win situations for all parties involved in the environment. 2.Warehouse Efficiency : The tracking of products, inventory location, dispatch, returns management, and item delivery are all included in warehouse management. Automation is used to handle each of these processes in an efficient manner. Software can be used to handle every step of the process, from the moment a new item is checked in to the moment it is checked out of the warehouse.

  3. 3.Freight Distribution : The supply chain procedures for getting goods to customers can be managed by organizations with the aid of logistics software. Using logistics software, the item can be delivered from the point of origin to the point of destination after the customer purchase is accepted. Automation can effectively handle the entire process. Organizations can view the real-time location of their dispatched goods thanks to the GPS monitoring features. The software can also keep track of factors like item quality, loading speed, and delivery time, among others. 4.Drivers or Transporters : On their platform, the logistics service companies can follow the whereabouts of drivers. When the products are prepared for delivery to the customers, the transporters or drivers in the originating location who are free are selected. The closest drivers are retrieved by the automated order dispatch algorithm for order pickup. The driver software enables drivers to get an electronic receipt for goods that have been delivered. In addition to recording delivery information, the driver can snap pictures of the shipped goods and their quantity. The app for the driver or transporter makes sure that the items are transported with greater accuracy and on time. The dispatch of goods, route maps, and transport notifications are preconfigured for the drivers. The logistics management software immediately updates the item’s dispatch and delivery information.

Utilizing software, the cost center assists logistics providers in managing all expenses, tax receipts, and compliance reports. The expense control feature can be used to analyze inventory prices, fuel consumption, and item consumption. 6.Contactless Delivery : Customers can experience the strength of contactless delivery automation thanks to the logistics software.
