TRANSPORTATION

The Internet of Things(IoT) is redefining the transportation industry forever; connecting almost everything in the world from people to parcels and vehicles, allowing transportation and supply chain businesses to monitor and trace shipments in real-time, make timely data-driven tactical decisions that improve overall operational efficiency, perform preventive maintenance on infrastructure and assets, heighten vehicle security, and much more.

Leveraging The Data

Real-time logistics is about leveraging all available data, such as GPS/RFID tags, wearable computers, telemetry, and other data to improve supply chain management. Companies like UPS, USPS, and DHL have already begun using such technologies in their business to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and lower costs.

Improving Operations

Other logistics movers use predictive analytics to provide managers with up-to-date and critical real-time data on where their assets are, where they're going, how fast or slow they're moving, and when they're getting close to their destination.


In short, using the data analytics offered by the internet of things to improve your logistics operations, fleet services, or vehicle tracking can help cut expenses, save time and fuel, improve customer satisfaction, and improve customer retention.
