A shortage of logistics personnel and drivers, a diverse IT landscape that does not permit integration or is incompatible, inefficient and time-consuming processes, and a changing supply chain: companies in the transport sector face a number of obstacles that put pressure on their revenues and weaken their financial position in the chain.
However these obstacles actually represent a huge opportunity. Carriers can potentially drive excellence throughout the supply chain with the information, tools and relationships they have in their hands. But to get to that point, transport companies must take the significant step of embracing data-driven working and becoming digitally mature businesses.
Collecting data and being able to retrieve it easily and use it predictively play a crucial role in this process, which also exposes the main vulnerabilities, bottlenecks and inefficiencies in an organization. From that starting point, the focus can switch to building and implementing improvements.
The path to success
Whatever the nature of the improvements - dashboarding, RPA, far-reaching integration or portals - tasks are done more efficiently and smartly, systems communicate better, employees are happier and more loyal, and organizations start working again based on a single version of the truth.
This allows transport companies to reclaim their leading role in the supply chain. But isn’t this a complex and tricky development in view of the current situation at many companies? Yes, it is - but Hyperautomation offers a definitive solution.
