Take a dive into real-world use cases
Logistics companies are in a highly competitive environment, and they’re under
constant pressure to keep costs low. As a result, many logistics companies take
advantage of outsourcing - hiring outside businesses or individuals to handle some
portion of their operations - to cut down on overhead expenses.
Because of these issues, data sharing is limited, transparency is low due to unknown
go-betweens who take on tasks as subcontractors. Additionally supply chain
management inefficiencies arise from unstandardised processes and lack of available
data.
Logistical issues are exacerbated by the dominance of manual labor and paper-based
processes, which comprise a significant portion of current logistics operations.
