- 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:
- Increased efficiency: LIT can help to automate tasks, streamline processes, and improve communication between different parts of the supply chain. This can lead to significant reductions in costs and improved efficiency.
