Logistics Automation for Managing Cargo Shipment 

12/5/2016

 
Picture
Logistics automation helps you save a significant amount of time and money in managing your cargo shipment. It allows you to automatically input and store fuel surcharges and integrate your commodities through your ERP system, helping you avoid costly mistakes. You don’t need to worry about inputting the wrong data. Manual data entry mistakes will result in higher shipping costs like paying higher cargo rates due to inputting an incorrect cargo classification or paying for the shipping more than once. Logistics automation also features auto pick-up, freight accounting and insurance as well as real time cargo tracking.

​Real Time Access to Freight Data 
Real time access to freight data allows you to make better business decisions. For instance, you may discover through the data you gathered that the carrier you usually use due to their low prices often deliver your goods late, causing you to offer a poor customer service. Trying to save money at the expense of delivering goods in a timely manner could damage your reputation and prevent you from gaining new customers. Having access to freight data allows you to see the cost of your business decisions and prevent costly poor decisions. 

Improved Customer Service 
Logistics automation allows you to enjoy accurate insurance and cargo accounting, real time cargo tracking and auto pick-up, so you and your customers know the exact amount that you need to pay for the goods and when the cargo will arrive at the drop-off point via automatic notifications. You can control cargo costs, risk and management. Logistics experts can design and implement controls to ensure efficient and cost-effective shipping. One of the best things about getting a logistics company is that they have a huge network that you can benefit from. This means getting the best shipping rates and saving money.

Speed 
You don’t need additional resources to manage your cargo, transportation department and logistics thanks to the powerful features of logistics automation. As you ship more freight, logistics automation allows you to enter new users into your system with ease and manage them without problem. With a reliable cargo accounting automation feature in place, you can consolidate all freight invoices into a single weekly invoice regardless of how many deliveries every location has. This makes the job of the controller easier to manage. 
When used properly, logistics automation can bring a lot of benefits to your business. A logistics company can scale down or up their efforts based on your company’s status or growth.  Logistics automation will help you eliminate waste, save money in the transportation department and ensure efficiency in shipping goods. It’s important to know how much business your logistics company can manage. 
Choosing the wrong logistics company will not only prevent you from handling a large amount of orders, but also cause you to lose your current and potential customers. Find the right company that can help you with your packing and shipping needs. For more information about our logistics services and to get a free quote, click here.
