Supply chain issues are endemic to the flow of goods from the supplier to the customer. These issues can occur due to a breakdown in the point-to-point movement of goods, lack of visibility throughout the entire chain, poor inventory management and cross-functional coordination, and indirect disruptions caused by weather, global events, and other uncontrolled forces. In the trucking and commercial fleet sector, disruptions could translate to higher operational expenses, missed delivery deadlines, and subsequent client dissatisfaction.
TruckX provides fleet management technology to minimize supply chain problems. Using data that gives real-time insights into the activities of distribution networks and fleets’ operations, the technology provided by TruckX can be used to detect real-time bottlenecks and inefficiencies in supply chains. The technology also provides information for optimizing routes and delivery times. This technology can aid fleet managers in monitoring various aspects of supply chains including vehicle locations, driver performance, and actions.
Furthermore, TruckX is also integrated with other logistics platforms, making information flow more seamless between the various components of the supply chain. With this integration, every partner in the business, from suppliers to carriers to customers, is more likely to be on the same page. This helps to ensure the delivery of the right product to the right customer at the right time. Fleets that implement TruckX’s solutions significantly boost their supply chain resiliency, their objective to deliver the right thing to the right place, and their competitive position in the market.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are common supply chain issues in trucking?
