Overcoming the challenges of E-Commerce and Supply Chain Logistics
11 November, 2020 Arya Omnitalk

Transport and Supply Chain Logistics is the back bone of trade. This Industry works tirelessly to meet the evolving and dynamic needs of suppliers and customers. Nowadays, with evolvement of Ecommerce, the shipments move across geographies, transferred through integrated supply chains, and change hands frequently. This complex network may lead to delays in shipment, resulting in an unhappy customer. Customer expectations also have increased manifolds and today the speed and security of delivery is as important as its price and quality. The sudden surge in E-Commerce has further increased the need for transparency in the shipping process. Majority of buyers refuse to buy from a retailer after a late delivery experience.

The rise of digitalization has transformed the way Companies operate. As the boundaries between digital and physical environment are slowly blurring, the Ecommerce market along with uninterrupted supply chain logistics has become bigger and brighter.

On Time delivery is a point where an online transaction gets transformed into an offline i.e. hand-to-hand delivery. Hence without a well-defined and secured shipping process, the entire Industry may collapse. One proven method to improve the supply chain logistics is to increase the visibility of shipments for all stakeholders, scattered across the network using GPS Fleet Tracking and management technology.

Moreover the entire supply chain process has become vulnerable to thefts and pilferage. Unless there are visible signs of forced entry or tampering, pilferage usually cannot be detected until delivery .To bring transparency in the system and to secure the shipments, Arya Omnitalk introduced a comprehensive solution, integrating GPS Technology with Smart Electronic locks. GPS Tracking device along with Smart E Locks have an In-built intelligence and it provides real time data of the location of shipment in-transit. The Smart locks can be opened only at the authorized location, by an authorized person after giving a command from the control room. Virtual Geographical boundaries i.e. Geo-fences can be created around the destination locations to validate authorized boundaries for lock operations. Smart locks can be operated through backend over Cloud/Web application/Apps and can be configured in a manner that it can be opened or closed only after receiving authorization command from control room. Operating an efficient fleet starts with knowing where, when and how your fleet is operated, the status and audit trail of every vehicle in terms of availability at origin, destination and major milestones in transit as well as locking and unlocking operation is very crucial.

Benefits

Enhanced
In-Transit Security

The locks are specifically engineered to meet the requirements of industry specific requirements such as containers, tankers etc, and ruggedized for an all weather protection. They can be keyless or with remotely enabled keys and provide dual protection with electronically controlled unlocking mechanism via a fitted GPS device in the vehicle or a complete defined approval workflow at the designated web utilities and App. Each transaction of unlocking is password protected at the application level to eliminate mishandling and the data in transit is completely protected through a high level encryption. Solution is also designed such that it takes care of ground reality specific eventualities through specific approval process. Audit trail is maintained for each operation, with related time stamp and location, helping use the data for any forensic purpose.

No Dependency on Operator

Since it’s a key independent solution, key management becomes easy, helps you to stop worrying about lost keys or forgotten combinations. The state-of-art locks are tamperproof, weatherproof and ruggedized. Complete audit trail of lock operator can be obtained leading to more transparency in the system. Apart from GPS device of the vehicle, these locks can also operate through Mobile app in “Force action” scenario, connected over low energy Bluetooth with necessary password protection.

Optimize vehicle utilization

Fleet Owners can now predict arrival of vehicles at required locations with a much higher degree of accuracy, leading to substantially reduced fleet idling time and real time sharing of predicted fleet availability at several locations with a number of prospective booking agents and or end customers. The access to travel history for trips undertaken together with all the exception reports like unauthorized stoppages, route deviations, average speeds possible on a route at different times of the day, driving behavior etc. results in improved forecasting, helping Fleet managers make more informed decisions on the fly, thus turning around their fleet much faster.

Secure your consignment

If the concern with existing fleet operations is fuel pilferage In – Transit, a fuel sensor can also be additionally installed in the fuel tank, which will send alerts in case of a sudden fuel drop ( resulting from theft of fuel), besides also giving the location of where fuel was pilfered.
