Merino – Digitalization Real time tracking

The client was facing several challenges in their logistics operations, which were affecting their overall business performance. One of the primary challenges was the inability to track shipments in a single platform, as there were multiple GPS sources and third-party vehicles involved in the transportation process. This lack of visibility resulted in a delay in shipment delivery, as the client was unable to proactively address any issues that arose during the transportation process.

Another challenge was the inability to schedule warehouse space and manpower effectively, as there was no visibility into the status of the shipments. This resulted in an inefficient use of resources and an increase in operating costs.

Additionally, the client was facing challenges in their procurement process, as they were unable to maintain adequate stocks of raw materials and often overbooked or underbooked goods. This led to an increase in production costs and a delay in order fulfillment.

Overall, the client was facing significant challenges in their logistics operations, which were negatively impacting their business performance. The lack of visibility into shipments and resource utilization, as well as the inefficiencies in their procurement process, were causing delays and increasing operating costs.

To address the challenges faced by the client in their logistics operations, iTroSys SmartLogis platform with SAP Add-on, which was co-innovated by SAP and iTroSys, was implemented.

One of the key solutions provided by iTroSys was the creation of a mobile application that enabled tracking of all GPS locations and tied up with all the call service providers to track drivers based on SIM locations. This helped in creating a centralized platform for tracking shipments and provided real-time visibility into the status of the shipments.

In addition, the complete process was digitized, and all GPS data points were collected from multiple sources and integrated into a control room for the client. This provided the client with a comprehensive dashboard to monitor and manage all their shipments from a single platform.

Furthermore, iTroSys incorporated warehouse utilization in the dashboard, providing better visibility of the raw materials and finished goods. This enabled the client to schedule warehouse space and manpower more effectively, reducing operating costs and improving resource utilization.

Overall, iTroSys SmartLogis platform with SAP Add-on provided the client with a comprehensive solution to address their logistics challenges, enabling real-time visibility, efficient resource utilization, and improved control over their logistics operations.

The implementation of iTroSys SmartLogis platform with SAP Add-on provided the client with several benefits, enabling them to improve their logistics operations significantly.

One of the significant benefits was the real-time tracking of shipments, which was achieved by consolidating all GPS data into a single platform. This enabled the client to monitor and manage their shipments in real-time, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced delays.

The solution also enabled Just-In-Time (JIT) sourcing, monitoring, real-time tracking, and predictive analytics, resulting in a reduction of raw material costs by 10-15%. This allowed the client to optimize their inventory levels and reduce their inventory carrying costs.

Moreover, the platform enabled better utilization of warehouse space, improved scheduling and planning, and real-time tracking and prediction of ETA, resulting in savings of 20-30% from underutilization of assets.

Finally, the integration of systems and digitization of the process resulted in significant savings in inventory costs, which ranged from 30-45% depending on the industry.

Overall, iTroSys SmartLogis platform with SAP Add-on provided the client with significant cost savings, improved efficiency, and real-time visibility into their logistics operations, enabling them to enhance their customer satisfaction and competitiveness.
