Monitoring tonnes of freight moving between cities and passing international borders via sea, land, and air is a job that requires careful planning and execution. With experience, this becomes a manageable affair. In due course, you become equipped to take on more business due to the network connections and quality of your service.
Adding years of experience, you do realize the mounting paperwork under which your staff and organization are getting overwhelmed with. As the regulatory bodies push for a paperless regime, the importance of an ERP system to relieve you is felt strongly. ERP solutions like Logi-Sys have been aiding the end-to-end operations of logisticians and freight forwarders for decades.
Let's understand how you too can unload the burdens of a haphazardly-managed logistics operation and start afresh.
1 - Theory of Elimination
The first step in your aim to attain freedom from the chaos is to identify and eliminate the things that have been burning holes in your revenue. This is likely going to be the software that is not causing any gains but adds up smaller but noticeable costs. Your freight solution should be able to throw light on the blooming aspects of your business as well as what is biting.
When you choose an ERP logistics solution, you choose a complete solution that does the work of multiple software together. For example, Logi Sys from Softlink Global, handles Sales CRM, Accounting and Finance, Customs and Regulatory, Warehouse Management System, and Customer Visibility Portal in one web-based solution.
2 - Clarity of Vision
Logisticians and freight forwarders are required to be in coordination with multiple stakeholders. This is a complex process and if you continue with manual ways, it ends up being chaotic. If you think of expanding, this surely must be done in a better way. Take, for example, responding to your customer's emails/calls for providing shipment statuses. Forgo the multiple coordination with your teams to receive the status and opt for real-time status with the Self-Login Customer portal.
3 - Manual to Automation
By automating the operational processes, Logi-Sys, freight management software can handle up to 45 percent of repetitive work. Depending on your business needs, solution providers give you the option of hosting the solution on-premise or on a pay-as-you-go hosting model. Workflows are the remedy for the laborious and inefficient task of coordination. Define your organization's processes into the system and incorporate milestones and deadlines along with auto-alerts. By automating the operational process, Logi-Sys can handle up to 45 percent of repetitive work.
4 - Paper to Digital Transformation
