When we talk about the logistics process, we often use the word ‘workflow’. This workflow visualises how the transport process is organised from a to b and the steps they need to take to get there.
It is often not as simple as getting from a to b. In most cases, there are other variables that you need to take into account. For example when you are transporting temperature sensitive goods, your assets need to meet certain criteria in order to be allowed to transport these kind of goods. A lot of companies forget that and get into trouble.
To organise and optimise the workflow, you need to break the process down into the individual steps. The process starts the moment the driver gets a new order and ends when he delivers that order. During that whole trip, every activity is being monitored and measured. When he delivers the goods, the logistics process for the next order starts.
To be able to fully monitor and optimise this process, you need to integrate an advanced fleet management telematics system with your own back-office systems. There are 8 steps to take if you want to integrate an advanced telematics system.
The integration of an advanced telematics system will give you insight into your logistics process and optimise your fleet in terms of profitability and efficiency. The steps you need to take are:
