这艘花费优先考虑了对供应链可见性(SCV)解决方案市场的高级别审查。SCV is an acronym often used to describe the inventory “track and trace” capability that shippers are rapidly implementing to help manage their logistics, even though SCV also has a broader context for inventory visibility across the supply chain (e.g., within the plant or at a supplier). Logistics providers are all doing so to meet a service level expectation that is coalescing around real-time, track and trace information flows. For example, whether it’s a Wal-Mart store awaiting a shipment or a consumer anticipating a package from Amazon, they both want to know delivery status — and they want that information at their fingertips.
然而,虽然消费者可能只想知道“何时”,但托运人想知道所有相关细节,包括任何和所有性能和风险信息,这些信息可以支持更好的库存管理实践、容量规划和运输采购。
运营商也会随波逐流(请原谅这个双关语),不仅是因为他们有义务,而且因为这很快就会符合他们的商业利益(从负载匹配的角度)。他们共享的信息越多(即,他们每小时的状态越明显、越透明),他们的卡车就越有可能保持满载——在首选车道上装载正确的货物。
与几家托运人和其他贸易从业者一起,我们采访了以下SCV解决方案提供商:
- 四风筝
- 10-4系统
- Project44
- 宏点
注:虽然有更多的SCV解决方案提供商,但它们通常由运输模式专业或其目标受众(托运人,运营商,LSP),他们的想法,技术和raisons d'etre而区别。
