Attaining Supply Chain Visibility Doesn’t Have To Be an Overwhelming Task

Supply chain visibility is at the forefront of supply chain leaders’ minds in 2018.

Today’s businesses need to know where their product is, and when it is going to be delivered, every detail regarding the contents of their freight. It’s also essential to provide this level of visibility to all the stakeholders in the supply chain.

Silos between procurement, warehouse ops, finance and the customer cause breakdowns in the system, resulting in wasted time and lost revenue.

Imagine connecting all the logistics professionals who are working to ship your freight from point A to point B on one seamless interface.

Giving stakeholders access to the same actionable information in real-time sets them up for better communication and the ability to remove roadblocks.

For many companies working diligently to compete in the new landscape, the prospect of enhancing visibility to their supply chains is daunting.

The expected time commitment and resources required to integrate legacy systems with a transportation management system (TMS) is often seen as too costly and inefficient; outweighing the benefits of such a system.

These barriers to service are hindering many companies’ ability to gather data on their supply chains and compete at the high-level Amazon has made the industry standard.

Kuebix is revolutionizing logistics management with its intelligent TMS.

By seamlessly connecting legacy ERP systems with Kuebix and bolstering the direct customer-carrier relationship, Kuebix enables shippers to see every node of their supply chains.

Stakeholders can use one solution to view and manage their freight, saving time and breaking down silos. And depending on the scope of the integration needed, Kuebix TMS can be ready to use in a few weeks to a few months.

This modular, scalable solution gives companies previously unable to cope with the commitment of old-fashioned TMS systems the ability to make data collected across the supply chain available to all users and gives them greater control and visibility into what is happening across their enterprises.

Supply chain visibility will be a weighty topic in 2018, as the industry acclimatizes itself to new levels of supply chain control. The question is no longer whether visibility is essential for shipping companies, but how long customers are willing to patronize suppliers without it.

The competition will become fiercer and the bar continues to be pushed higher. Kuebix is excited to see how the demand for increased visibility will continue to evolve the supply chain.
