Logistics service providers: your direct connection to the digital age
One thing is for certain: Logistics services are becoming increasingly complex as they adapt to ever-changing market conditions and more frequent delivery intervals.
Logistics today is a service with many unknowns. Shipping volumes fluctuate. Storage and transportation resources are in short supply. Costs are skyrocketing. All this only underscores how important it is to be quick and flexible in responding to changing situations. To look around the corner and make the most of your network and processes.
Excel spreadsheets alone aren’t going to cut it. Communication, interaction, automation: The modern world of logistics is digital. Numbers, data, and information flows enable solutions that ensure greater agility and more reliable planning. This is the route to better results—and less stress.
Master your datastream
The control tower is a key tool for optimizing how logistics processes are managed. It’s a command center and consolidation hub all in one, connecting everyone involved in a process regardless of their IT system environment, delivering the necessary transparency, and enabling end-to-end supply chain monitoring. The result: significantly lower process costs, less administrative overhead, greater reliability.
Digital solutions let you integrate new partners into your network, calculate freight costs, and track shipments in real time—making you the master of your goods and data.
A cloud-based control tower, used for distribution management or to control a procurement network, can be seamlessly integrated into existing system environments to replace standalone solutions and standardize logistical processes.
