Your customer’s expectations are rising. Their businesses demand that they serve their customer’s with greater speed, agility and precise ETA’s. For you, this means digitizing much of your business to enable the operational efficiencies needed to serve your customers effectively. How can you provide better service while controlling costs?
Within the supply chain, changes in a shipments’ delivery time due to unexpected events such as weather, port congestion, or truck shortage are inevitable. However, most companies still struggle to solve and mitigate shipment problems, especially in real-time.
Managing the manufacturing, shipping and assembling of 20,000 parts per vehicle is undoubtedly time consuming and tedious. It’s no surprise that your supply chain will either make or break the on-time delivery of your vehicles.
Blume solutions enable supply chain decision-makers in the consumer products industry to simplify their supply chains and get the right products to the right retailers at the right time.
What does it mean to be able to track products during every move, mode, and mile of the supply chain? It means better efficiencies and more productivity.
As a shipper, it’s hard to predict your product’s estimated time of arrival. Unpredictable factors such as weather and port congestion commingled with a lack of capacity or readily available equipment, can greatly impact arrival time.
The challenges facing Intermodal Marketing Companies (IMCs) aren’t new, but the competitive landscape is changing fast. Escalating customer demands, exacerbated by capacity shortages and unpredictability through the system, are increasing the pressure on IMCs to find ways to transform their business. And while the challenges seem clear at the surface, the solutions don’t necessarily come easily.
Digitization is reshaping the landscape of the international container shipping industry as customers require an increased level of real-time visibility, connectivity and transparency.
Shippers today are navigating in an era of ongoing technological disruption. Digital transformation and the influx of smart technologies have led to an increase in customer expectations for responsiveness, instant gratification and seamless, high-quality experiences across all channels.
The logistics and freight forwarding industry is rapidly changing – with disruption from new kinds of competitors, expanding global supply chains, increasing fleet and capacity restrictions and high fixed and variable costs, the industry is seeing significant transformation.
