Transport Management: Planned & optimized shipments and stream-lined communication between all par-ties, Secondary or last mile distribution by consolidating multiple upcountry orders can be sent in FTL and can be tracked. Truckload building can give an additional savings up to 25 percent. The underutilised space in vehicles ei-ther due to weight or volume is bound to be questioned as it's now visible to middle a top management.3. Smart Route Management: Smart routes can be planned consid-ering multiple constraints - location of distributors - opening/closing times, manpower availability for loading/unloading, vehicle type constraints, and vehicle timing constraints and on holidays.4. Low Cost Inventory Manage-ment: Reduction in shortages/stock-outs & improved warehouse and transport inventory. POS data can be integrated with RDC and Plant for replenishment orders.5. Visibility & Monitoring: Re-al-time, fully supply chain transpar-ency for improved service levels and traceability. SLA's for truck indent to gate in, truck type indented to actual received, vehicle turnaround time at source. Long haul TAT, SLA's for load-ing and unloading services can now be can be enforced with reward or penalty on LSP - resulting 100 percent custom-er satisfaction and decrease in loss of sale for non-availability - increase in sale and productivity up to 20 percent.6. Freight Settlement: Reduction in expediting costs with accurate & reli-able management of billing, audit and payment activities. Freight bills are generated by LSPs through self-ser-vice portal which are 100 percent ad-hering to contract, thereby reducing the manpower efforts saved for bill validation & verification - time spent on noncore time consuming and erro-neous activity of verifying and validat-ing the freight bills is eliminated. 7. Request & Deviation Manage-ment: Increase in on-time shipments & maximized service levels through re-quest tracking and incident handling. Online tracking even on market hired vehicles with Geo Fencing triggering POD to make sure delivery process is transparent and to all stakeholders - time spent on follow-ups and its side effects are eliminated. Happy life for every one non-core nuances activity reduced by almost 100 percent.Business Objective-Freight management system advanced algorithms analyse and suggests to Lo-gistics Command and Control Centre - LC3 team to consolidate loads across multiple locations/divisions/branches and suggests FTL or Express mode for any type of distribution - costs savings up to 50 percent. Its built-in Intelli-gence helps in comparing and choos-ing the fastest OR most economical mode, as well as LSP.Truck Load Building TLB feature maximizes the Truck Fill Rate (TFR) and can optimize the space for FTL primary movements - space optimized up to 25 percent. Advanced and intelligent algorithms of TLB sug-gests which all items and quantities to be filled to maximize the TFR. SLA of the LSPs for transit and turnaround time for multiple legs can be tracked and can be enforced with reward or penalty on LSP - resulting 100 percent customer satisfaction and decrease in loss of sale for non-availability. In-crease in sale and productivity up to 20 percent.Route can be planned consider-ing multiple constraints - location of distributors - opening/closing times, manpower availability for loading/unloading, vehicle type constraints and vehicle timing constraints and on holidays. Online tracking even on mar-ket hired vehicles with Geo Fencing triggering POD to make sure delivery process is transparent and to all stake-holders - time spent on non-core and not value adding activity reduced by at least 40 percent. Freight bills are gen-erated by LSPs through self-service portal which are 100 percent adhering to contract thereby reducing the man-power efforts saved for bill validation and verification - time spent on non-core and not value adding activity re-duced by at most 100 percent.The demands of business and the advancements in technology provide both the need for, and the ability to deliver, a Digital Supply Chain. To make that end-to-end Supply Chain work real Control Tower applications are required. With a Control Tower enabled by full visibility across the entire supply chain there is an oppor-tunity for more efficient management and decision-making than ever be-fore. This is an exciting capability that should be a part of everyone's Supply Chain strategy.
