Logistics Depends On Technology

Smooth logistics is the cornerstone for enhancing customer satisfaction. Today, the logistics industry is highly dependent on technology systems to manage daily operations accurately and efficiently.

Technology has changed the way inventory is tracked, whether at the warehouse or on the move for delivery to the final customer.

Mobile Technology Makes Real Time Data Available

The availability of real-time data on the status of individual items has provided significant insight into improving operational efficiency. This real-time data can be measured easily and converted into actionable items to enhance processes.

Managing inventory in a warehouse and shipping goods to customers distributed across a huge geographical base can be highly chaotic.

Advantages of Mobile Technology in Logistics

• Optimize and simplify deliveries across a highly distributed environment

• Improve communication

• Reduce mistakes and increase accuracy

• Increase efficiency

• Accelerate the processing speed

Mobile technology has revolutionized the logistics industry. It can help to:

Business Advantages of Mobile Technology

• Improves planning

• Lowers cost

• Results in happier customers

For any business, the use of mobile technology in logistics:

GPS Mapping

• The routes they need to follow

• Traffic data on different routes

• Road incidents or closures along their scheduled route

All this information allows drivers to take an alternative route to reduce travel time.

GPS allows drivers to receive information regarding:

Barcode Scanning

A cellphone with an in-built camera and the right app can be used for barcode scanning on the move. The right app would enable data to be sent to an easily accessed platform. This technology helps employees to work together to maintain the accuracy of their data.

RFID or Radio Frequency Identification

• Count inventory in a matter of minutes

• Track items

• Share data across all business units

• Avoid items being stolen or lost

RFID achieves more intelligent warehousing and delivery. A business would receive a host of actionable data. This technology helps to:

NFC or Near Field Communication

It can help to:

• Track the loads of material that have been shifted from a site

• Whether all the drivers have logged their presence in a distributed environment

• Identify the geographic location of an asset

NFC is an upgrade of the RFID technology. A delivery driver only needs to tap his smartphone against an inventory pallet and all the shipment information is instantly available to be sent to the distribution center or to a customer.
