Simpler, Safer, More Secure
Technology products tend to be high-value goods, which call for appropriate security of the supply chain to minimize losses. It is estimated that theft on commercial vehicles in Europe amounts to EUR 8.2 billion annually, and technology products are a primary target. Full visibility across the end-to-end supply chain is essential, therefore, so that high-value goods can be tracked more easily and corrective actions can be initiated proactively.
Moreover, many technology firms do not actually touch or see their product themselves anymore, before it makes its way to their end customers. So, ensuring their brand is protected by providing them with the peace of mind that their products are in safe hands is all-important.

In addition, with different parts of the supply chain often relying on different logistics providers, a dedicated end-to-end management and visibility function is needed to maximize effectiveness. What is more, complex, regulated supply chain models require highly specialized logistics knowledge and capabilities.
And, companies today increasingly need to know their supply chain’s environmental impact, which requires visibility of their carbon footprint, too. Logistics providers, therefore, need to be able to offer global supply chain management, lead logistics provider (LLP) and control tower solutions, harnessing advanced, end-to-end visibility tools. These include realtime tracking capabilities along with secure freight services and warehouse facilities, along with carbon tracking competence.
