  • Barcoding and electronic data interchange (EDI): These technologies are used to automate the exchange of data between different parts of the supply chain.
  • Warehouse management systems (WMS): These systems are used to track inventory levels, manage orders, and optimize the flow of goods in and out of warehouses.
  • Transportation management systems (TMS): These systems are used to plan and track shipments, manage carriers, and optimize routes.
  • Fleet management systems (FMS): These systems are used to track and monitor vehicles, manage fuel consumption, and improve driver safety.
  • Geospatial technologies: These technologies are used to track the location of goods in real time and optimize delivery routes.
