Delivering On Transportation & Logistics Operations Needs


Growing Pressure for More Efficient Delivery and Customer Service

Process improvement leads the way for understanding how automation can reduce human effort and intervention. Yet 39% of companies have not performed process reengineering in the last year.

That is in stark contrast to the fact that transportation and logistics managers have identified operational efficiency as their number one priority. This complimentary white paper reviews research that illuminates the needs of transportation and logistics operations and how applying automation results in greater productivity, accuracy and visibility. The research uncovered the following three key issues:

  • Improving operational efficiency by gaining back mere seconds from workflows
  • Increasing picking accuracy to improve the perfect order index
  • Quickly managing returned goods to minimize the impact on the bottom line

This white paper is for readers interested in reducing delivery and pick up time by as much as 30% with location-based mobile technology.
