  • 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.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI): AI is being used in logistics to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and optimize operations.

LIT can help logistics organizations to improve their performance in a number of ways, including:

  • Improved visibility: LIT can help to track the location of goods in real time and provide visibility into the entire supply chain. This can help to identify and resolve problems more quickly and improve customer satisfaction.
  • Enhanced decision-making: LIT can help to provide decision-makers with real-time data and insights. This can help them to make better decisions about things like inventory levels, shipping routes, and pricing.
