The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Supply Chain And Supplier Management

AI is an incredibly pervasive modern paradigm that’s becoming widespread in its use across all types of industry. Particularly in the logistics field, the combination of mobile technologies and the supply of real time data enables warehouse and transport management processes to be refined to achieve considerable resource and time efficiencies.

AI facilitates this optimisation by providing invaluable insights into every aspect of the supply chain, with AI-enabled visual inspections and automatic sorting being just two of the ways in which this is realised. In the B2B transport sector, AI can even accurately forecast when trucks will leave or arrive at warehouses and route planning apps can ensure that the most efficient routes are taken.

Business Agility

The benefits offered to business operations by AI don’t end there either, as it makes it possible to quickly adapt to changes to the distribution network or fluctuations in the market. The overall effect of adding automation and machine learning AI is a significant reduction in the costs of warehousing, transport and supply chain administration.

AI can also assist with the process of selecting suppliers, particularly when talking about 3rd party hauliers. That is certainly the case for us at HUB 360, as we understand how valuable it is to be able to leave feedback on drivers and deliveries. Not only does this help with making the right choice of haulage partners, but it also pinpoints issues and allows them to be worked upon.

Helping Delivery Businesses to Work Smarter

AI is definitely here to stay and its influence looks set to become ever more widespread in the near future. Can you afford to miss out on the competitive advantage it provides? Thousands will be adopting AI and machine learning this year and it’s a matter when and not if it becomes the norm. When you get on board is your call.

At HUB360 Ireland, our distribution software platform allows for precise fleet control and automation of tasks across the entire transport system from warehouse to point of delivery (POD). These features help businesses to work smarter and more efficiently thanks to the operational insights it provides.
