The world we are living in governed by hyper-production and hyper-consumption is strongly marked by technology, and logistics has become increasingly important for world economies, starting from globalization of companies and production in different countries, with tax and labor facilities cheap, until the need for storage is increased.
In this world dominated by technology, industries find ways to work faster and smarter. Technological advances have provided businesses with new processes and improved systems that have helped maintain or increase efficiency in one way or another. It is time to see the same improvements in supply chain management.
Logistics operators struggle daily in their work with a lot of problems that can be solved with the help of technology. Software solutions must provide transparency, visibility and flexibility to all parties involved, a satisfactory level of communication for all actors.
How should the 3PL logistics operators treat the transparency problem?
Carefully. Smaller companies have a great opportunity to gain ground in front of big players in the industry if they take advantage of customer dissatisfaction with large companies. Larger companies will always offer better global coverage, but they lose contact with customers, due to the many problems that may arise: many customers, many orders, many problems. Transparency is an excellent way to add a plus to that direct contact with the customer, to build a relationship with it.
Regardless of the issues involved, from tracking real-time orders or communicating with employees, the software solutions used must solve them, allow you to have 360-degree real-time vision so you can identify in real-time or as soon as possible any problems or blockages and intervene as quickly as possible. All of this will have a direct effect on performance indicators, but above all on customer satisfaction.
In addition to transparency, the flexibility of the software system that a 3PL logistics operator uses is also very important. The right technology has this ability to positively influence the evolution of your business, to help you make better use of your resources and optimize your processes.
A flexible warehouse management software provides you with the ability to cope with rapid changes, add new customers to your portfolio, respond better and faster to their needs.
In addition to transparency and flexibility, a good warehouse management system must have operational visibility across a broad spectrum, with real-time updates and solutions. In addition, it must be able to be integrated quickly and easily with any ERP, BI, TMS system used internally or by customers.
