Your processes are optimized to the core. Your teams are running beyond efficiency and yet you fail to understand what is keeping you behind your competition.
As a logistics provider with
a globally dispersed team and network of partners and customers, you’re likely
used to relying on a bunch of different software solutions across different
locations.
The Covid-19 pandemic just
proved that all providers that have been running legacy systems have reached a
point of no further progress. Work from home meant that isolated systems
running your freight and logistics operations could not handle work
anymore.
Now that you've identified
upgrading your technology and adopting Logistics ERP Software like Logi-Sys from Softlink is the way
forward, you are set on the road to progress.
Check out our tips below to
accelerate your journey using a single platform logistics solution.
1. Get smart with workflow
management
Reactive organizations find
themselves in trouble when they fail to plan for uncertainties. A business
continuity plan for scenarios like a pandemic is surely required. But are you
running processes that keep your functions in sync?
Workflow management is the
answer to well-laid-out processes in your organization. Once all teams and team
members are clear about the roles and responsibilities, seamless
inter-department coordination is the by-product.
Workflows act as task
assignment and monitoring tools. Workflow management handles the vital task of
streamlining all functions and further establishing processes at the
organizational-level and function-level.
2. Information that is
Meaningful, Useful, and Insightful
Keeping your customers
updated on the status of their shipments has always been critical. But today,
more than ever, they’re expecting automated, near real-time reporting based on
their unique requirements.
With Logi-Sys from Softlink
Global, you can empower your customers to receive alerts about their shipments
or even have them self-login to check the status themselves.
Technology should enable you
to view a single screen that collates end-to-end data on your global
operations. Use existing standard reports or create a customized one to view
organizational data in tabular or graphical formats.
3. Bring Integrity in
processes
Now and then you can have
personnel being added or replaced in your functions or organization.
Irrespective of personnel change, you would want the information to be confined
to only the role they are assigned to. Say, for example, the finance function
would not want the budget details to be shared with the billing function.
For the integrity of data and
processes, Logi-Sys provides logins and authorization for access only to the
roles and responsibilities they are assigned for.
Further, you can also add a
maker-checker provision for a particular sub-process. Like, the quotations
prepared by a junior executive must be approved by a senior member before being
shared with the customer.
Track them with CRM
Keeping a record of your
leads and prospects helps in funneling more customers. ERP for logistics
management helps manage the entire sales life-cycle right from the Marketing
Campaigns, Revenue Targets, Leads, and Opportunities to Client Acquisition and
Customer Service. Logi-Sys provides 360˚ visibility to the management and
ensures a robust process to increase sales and generate revenue.
Logi-Sys' cloud-based Logistics and Freight software, bring your branches, functions, and operations together in one deeply integrated global platform.
