LIFT
On one hand you have to deal with the multitude of challenges that any supply chain in the world faces today - unforeseen docking delays, security concerns, rampant pilferage, management of empty containers or other transport carriers and increasing operational costs, to name a few. On the other hand you need to offer new value-added services to your clients. In short you have to remain competitive in the face of such challenges.
Our Intelligence Freight and Transportation System (LIFT) is a solution designed to address the challenges you face today. It helps you to offer new value-added services to your clients. It ensures effective, secure and reliable transit management. It is a comprehensive, end-to-end cargo management solution that leverages existing standards. It allows you to maintain your existing legacy systems while integrating with supply chains through Web services. You then gain the ability to adapt to future evolving technologies.
How it works
At the heart of the LIFT system is a small electronic device that is tagged on to the container or other transport carrier. This device provides real time data to the business users of the logistics supply chain – your clients. The state-of-the-art technology makes it possible to track the container or other transport carrier based on the configured time all along the supply chain route.
Manufacturers
LIFT provides real-time visibility of shipments wherever they might be on the globe at any given
point in time. This results in effective planning processes, which lead to reduced cycle time, reduced time-to-delivery, and reduced costs.
Third Party Logistics (3PL) Service Providers
Customer requirements are increasing - the demand for better reliability, security, transparency and real-time visibility of shipments is fast becoming the norm. For you, value-added services determine customer retention. The information received from the shipping line or other authorities are not real-time, and also the confirmation messages of the container or any transport carrier during trans-shipments are not updated in real time. Our intelligent solution provides real-time visibility of containers or any transport carrier. It alerts concerned authorities if there is a breach in the transit route. It also acts as an asset management
solution for the entire supply chain Industry.
Retailers
To remain competitive, you need to offer consumers more choices for buying products. An enhanced retail capacity requires that all brands be available everywhere at the same price. Moreover, continuous replenishment of shelves affects stock-out ratios, which need to be minimised. Our solution helps you to improve inventory tracking. Supply chains that implement the LIFT system
eliminate blind spots from inventory and logistics operations.
Customs and Regulatory bodies
The LIFT application will initiate the customs clearance processes even before the shipment arrives at the clearance point – that’s because you will know exactly when the shipment will arrive. The same way, trans-shipments will work better, without delays. Less delay translates to money saved, for everyone.
