The supply chain crunch has challenged the logistics industry in numerous ways. From low production capacity to new needs in cargo and broker tracking, companies have had to migrate to technological solutions. Accordingly, they are making efforts to transform their inventory, warehousing, and transportation management.
Hence, system incompatibility emerged as the main pain point for real-time data processing in an effort to optimize and expand operations. That’s when investing in technology and tech teams for a logistics company becomes a must to collect and analyze statistics and, through it, improve processes at an appropriate time. As a result, data and devices have helped the industry tackle the supply chain crunch by boosting both daily company performance and customer experience.
In this case, Advancio’s Fullstack developer, Max, led the Tech Talk for July called Supply Chain Crunch: Data & Devices as Real-Time Heroes to share their expertise on the industry and the technology behind it. Consequently, current challenges for logistics, inventory management and delivery, real-time tracking, risk mitigation, and upcoming digital trends were some of the topics covered in this talk.
