The future of transportation  and logisticsin a digital world

The transportation challenge

Digital: How do you do more... for lessThe digital revolution fundamentally challenges supply chains designed for a simpler, linear age. Clients and customers demand complex fulfilment, higher service levels and shorter timescales. Meanwhile, the business is launching more products and promotions in response to greater market volatility.

The limitations of traditional processes are being forced to the surface as inventory, cost and control are exposed. It is not possible to keep driving faster and stay in control in the existing paradigm.

Network VisibilityHow is it possible to navigate safely and efficiently without real time visibility of the network and knowledge of the road ahead. Today, logistics networks are global, multi-modal and collaborative across multiple parties including shippers and 3PLs.

Financial VisibilityToday, in many organisations, carrier contracts are managed and negotiated from multiple locations, yet they operate across borders. This makes it challenging to achieve economies of scale and seamless services.

Planning VisibilityService and profitability are end-to-end measures. Planning and execution have to work hand-in-glove with end-to-end visibility, synchronisation and control.

The digital opportunity

Digital transformation enables your organisation to gain full

visibility and control of your network. For the first time you

will see the big picture and with the assistance of ML and AI

be able to predict future states so that you can get ahead

of your customers and suppliers to create profitable and

personalised services while reducing cost and carbon.

Node to network

End-to-end design combined with holistic

logistical, business and market visibility

transforms operations from local, tactical

and reactive to business, customer and

profit driven.

Periodic to right-time

Real time visibility and control enables

asset optimisation and right-time delivery.

Uniform to personalization-at-scale

Cognitive segmentation means you can

continuously reconfigure your network

to deliver the personalised propositions,

profitably.

Human to AI assisted

AI and ML predict issues that were

previously unpredictable, prescribing

optimum actions and enabling automation

where possible.
