In the world of logistics and goods delivery, there is an increasing awareness of the need to embrace emerging supply chain technologies in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. There are a wealth of digital advancements that are making logistics operations work smarter and more efficient and it really is time to think about adopting it for your supply chain.

The digital transformation of your supply chain offers an array of benefits to your organisation, such as the automation of tasks to save time, monitoring of resource use to ensure efficiency, complete transparency of your operation and paperless working. All this combined with a completely searchable archive for all delivery documentation.

What is Digital Transformation & Why is it Important?

Essentially, digital transformation focuses on a business’s processes with a view to increasing performance and the delivery of new capabilities and added value to the customer. Introducing new digital technologies into any logistics and delivery operation is also key to eliminating human error, as it is able to provide accurate real-time transparency, as well as fully documented records of any and all transactions from the warehouse right through to proof of delivery.

In the ultra-competitive marketplace that exists today, the demands being placed on supply chains mean that more is being required, with less being provided with which to achieve it. The optimal efficiencies offered by digital transformation are key to helping companies to add more value to their customers whilst simultaneously lowering costs.

Analytics & Optimisation

Another key benefit of digital transformation is the data that it provides. This data can be used to great effect to optimise your delivery operation, as it can be analysed to spot inefficient or poorly functioning parts of the supply chain. Now is most certainly time to embrace digital transformation, as those who delay will be playing catch up in years to come, as they will find it very difficult to compete with companies that have. 

Existing technologies such as IoT sensors, GPS and RFID tags are already being used to help supply chains to be more collaborative, agile and flexible. There will likely be more technological advancements in the coming years to help reduce cost and maintain high levels of customer service and companies investing in it are likely to reap the rewards that come with it.
