On-time Delivery Is Difficult When
Everyone Isn’t on the Same Page

Managing the complexity of logistics requires information transparency – this means data that is accessible, relevant, comprehensive and insightful. Tracking of inbound goods across multiple logistics service providers and transport modes is a significant challenge, particularly as organizations scale upwards and extend the sourcing footprint. Frequently, the most successful player in the logistics game is the one who can handle the sheer enormity of variance by effectively leveraging a diverse global partner community.

Challenges

Access to timely accurate shipment status and estimated time of arrival regardless of shipment origin or modes of transport.
Reconciliation of purchase orders, items and item quantities to import containers is a complicated, time-consuming process.
Oversight of logistics service provider and carrier performance requires large amounts of information for analysis and reporting to confirm service level commitments are met.
Current logistics programs are managed with manual, loosely connected processes and siloed systems limiting use throughout the organization and across the extended enterprise.
