As we all know that the shipping and logistics industry is one of the largest & fastest growing industries of the world & over 90% of transportation and trade is taken care by this domain. Without shipping and logistics, import & export of any type of goods across the world would not be possible. To run such a big business is not an easy task as there are lots of challenges which this industry faces in their daily routine like Assets management, Import export documentation & duties, High Valuation Asset Tracking, Maintaining stock records of materials, Customer follow ups, Record of damage goods, Managing tariffs. For managing all these processes, the company needs a robust and scalable software solution which will give the company a single view of all their processes and showcase reports that are critical for supporting decision making. Customized reports, seamless processes and actionable data helping make strategic decisions on the go is what the management should look in while implementing a software system.
What happens if you do not digitize your business?When it comes to the shipping industry the toughest part in the shipping & logistics is digitizing
your business. Once you reach a certain number of volumes there will be a lot of documents to be
handled which becomes a challenging issue without proper software to handle your business. By doing
everything manually, you will have a high chance of making a mistake (one small mistake can make you
a great loss). This will also restrict scale up of your business.
The important part in any business is customer retention, if you are not good at customer retention
then it means you are lacking on something. In this modern world people want everything to be fast,
they want real-time data, proper reports and analytics, great customer support, proper invoicing,
they want everything quick. If you are slow and your competitor provides this data faster, the
tendency of moving to competition will also be faster.
Implementing a software that just results in data entry without any automation or standard set of
features to handle documentation and accounting will ruin the growth as it increases manual effort
and results in deploying more man power to handle the software. if the software you bought doesn't
have a good feature and doesn't have good support and the learning curve is very hard then it means
it is a bad software.
