- 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.
