TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS, SHIPPING: DEDICATED ICT SOLUTIONS ARE INCREASINGLY POPULAR


Transport is undoubtedly one of the crucial sectors of our economy. Likewise, the world of logistics and shipping is undergoing great changes.

To stimulate the transformation there have been and there are still many different factors, such as globalization , the evolution of purchasing and consumption behavior and so on. All this has led, as a first and most important consequence, to a growing need to speed up the movement of goods , in order to meet the demands of warehouses, companies and therefore consumers.

The operators who deal with transport, logistics and shipments thus find themselves having to progressively reduce delivery times, and at the same time guarantee greater productivity in the face of a reduction in costs : otherwise, it would become impossible to maintain sufficient margins .
To respond to these needs, the transport sector is rapidly modernizing , but there are still gaps that increase the final costs.

Transport and logistics: the excessive cost of document management

According to recent research by the World Economic Forum , a surprising part of the shipping costs are related to document management operations.

The most amazing case is that of container shipments on international routes : a fifth of the costs are attributable to the creation, processing and management of the necessary documentation. And this takes place in a sector that is only apparently analogical, which has already embarked on an important path towards digitalization, which is also parallel to that started by the customs authorities.

The classic "rivers of paper" still slow down and make shipping more expensive, around which delays and errors are created. This is because, in a sector where paper still has a leading role , every single passage from one actor to another can give rise to a forgetfulness or a real mistake, a possibility not very remote in the event that the steps of the goods are many, as happens precisely in the case of international shipments, more and more frequent.

It should also be stressed that when we talk about errors we refer to any event that could hinder a correct shipment: reading the statistics of the Cargo Incident Notification System it turns out, for example, that about 25% of the important accidents that occur on container ships are due to descriptions wrong load .

The race of the transport and logistics sector towards digitalization

In the face of setbacks and errors attributable to slow and obsolete document management, companies in the logistics transport sectors are increasingly adopting ICT solutions: the aim is to reduce the document load and guarantee effective transport management , availing itself of continuous support: from the planning to the control phase.
