Navigating the Journey of Digital Transformation for Logistics Businesses

In today's fast-paced business world, investing in advanced routing and scheduling technology is crucial for logistics companies to gain a competitive advantage.

According to Gartner, 61% of supply-chain executives agree that technology is vital for success. And yet, 72% of distribution operations still don't have a digital transformation roadmap. So, what's holding companies back?

The answer is simple: they don't know where to begin.

If you're unsure exactly what digital transformation is or how best to get started, it can be an overwhelming process filled with uncertainty. But it doesn't have to be that way.

To guide you through the journey, we've created an interactive roadmap to digital transformation that highlights the tools you need and the steps to take to future-proof your transport operations. Our infographic covers the following topics:

• Route Optimisation: Determining the most efficient routes for your fleet amid complex delivery requirements.

• Real-Time Route Execution Visibility: Empowering fleet managers and dispatchers with visibility of drivers' real-time performance, allowing for monitoring of operations and ensuring on-time deliveries.

• Proof of Delivery: Providing real-time delivery and item-level tracking, as well as automated notifications upon parcel delivery.

• Home Delivery: Managing your entire fulfillment process, reducing planning time and improving information flow throughout your organisation.

• ERP Integration: Automating delivery operations from manufacturing to final delivery.

• Strategic Modelling: Making informed decisions by modeling the impact of various “what-if” scenarios, like flexing driver shift times or considering new warehouse and depot locations.
