Enhancing Shipment Visibility: Real-Time Tracking Solutions in Logi-Sys

The critical importance of real-time shipment visibility is not lost on freight forwarders and their customers. A few advantages of real-time shipment tracking are:

1. Operational Efficiency: Real-time tracking enables proactive management of shipments, significantly reducing delays and enhancing route optimization

2. Enhanced Customer Service: Provides customers with real-time updates, fostering trust and improving service levels

3. Risk Mitigation: Immediate visibility of shipment status helps in quickly identifying and resolving issues, thereby mitigating potential risks

SURPRISING GROUND REALITIES

But despite these clear benefits, the ground reality presents a surprising situation - a March survey titled ‘The State of Visibility 2023’ among 260+ supply chain professionals revealed that 77% of survey respondents said that real-time shipment visibility is a must-have feature - but only 25% currently use it.

Two other very revealing data points concluded from the survey were

• 87% of respondents identified "while goods are in transit" as the supply chain segment with the least visibility

• 46% said shipment visibility is a mandatory requirement for their end customers (e.g., retailers)

By incorporating real-time tracking, Logi-Sys enhances operational transparency, making it easier for businesses to manage their freight forwarding tasks efficiently.
