Synopsis
The pandemic has a significant impact on stocks worldwide. Consequently, achieving supply chain excellence demands greater visibility. Supply chain visibility with live tracking data enables logistics managers to make data-driven decisions from beginning to end. Location technology could play a critical role in optimizing every stage of the supply chain: from boosting efficiency and productivity to reducing costs, disruptions and delays. But, could it also help businesses to achieve better Estimated Times of Arrival (ETA) and boost their Net Promoter Score (NPS)?
Learn from our experts’ perspective on end-to-end shipment visibility indoor and outdoor, on the road, in-air and at sea. They will illustrate the importance of full shipment condition monitoring to detect damages in transit to increase on-time, in-full performance.
Join us also in the discussion on the following topics:
– the challenges of achieving visibility in logistics operations.
– the most effective tracking solutions tailored to companies’ needs and operations
– the ongoing digital transformation in the supply chain
