May 3rd, 2019In the freight transport and logistics sector, it currently faces the challenge of adapting through technology to the needs of customers, and the importance of the cloud when it comes to processing, analyzing and managing data from the IoT, such as those from logistics processes and connected vehicles.
The process of digital transformation in which this sector has embarked allows turning data into useful and practical information, standardizing the management criteria for its activities, obtaining an increase in process automation and facilitating internal and external communication has led to an improvement in efficiency.
The needs and challenges of transport companies have been resolved with telematics technology as an aid, improving productivity, efficiency and reduction of operating costs, such as maintenance or fuel. Productivity in Logistics is what makes us really competitive in this global world.
“This new management system has allowed us to have greater control over operating costs and, in this way, establish strategic lines for their optimization. In addition, it allows to increase the productivity of the resources, reducing parking times through a planning and integration system in the logistics chain of its customers thanks to the location and management of fleets in real time, which in turn has made it possible to improve satisfaction and offer new services
"The only constant is change" Never before was this phrase so valid, as when we apply it to the current logistics context and its implications on the effectiveness of companies that must face a global market, but with local competition; today, it is not enough to have a "winning" product and a competitive price, if the best customer service is not provided. Globalization and the increase of competitors is unstoppable and does NOT subsidize inefficiencies. There is only one possible answer: Be Competitive!
