DIGITAL CONSULTING FOR THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

For your solution to succeed, you need a holistic approach to consulting. Like the one taken by adesso, for example. We have extensive professional and industry expertise as well as experience in logistics IT projects. adesso is there to support you in finding the best digitalisation solution for your company.

Smartphones, the ability to work from home and contactless payment are all examples of how digitalisation permeates our daily and professional lives. Digitalisation has also taken hold in the domestic and international logistics industry. The market is changing rapidly, meaning management has to optimise processes and implement regulatory requirements quickly under time and budgetary constraints. Despite all this, many logistics companies still primarily rely on physical documents and Excel spreadsheets. Along with that, data is scattered throughout the company, and a lot of knowledge is held only by employees.

At the same time, the value chain is growing increasingly complex, resources (both in terms of materials and skilled workers) are becoming scarcer and sustainability is growing in importance. Digital solutions are needed to meet these challenges now and in the future. More specifically, digital solutions that integrate quickly and systematically into existing infrastructures in view of the constant changes taking place in the logistics sector.

We offer you support with all use cases, questions and challenges, tailored to meet your individual needs and goals. This is all part of our effort to drive the digitalisation of your transport and logistics processes forward, which encompasses process optimisation, improving your efficiency, agile transformation, data analytics and artificial intelligence.

But what can you expect in real terms? First off, you receive an assessment of your digital environment as well as the digital maturity of your organisation. In addition, short- to medium-term options in terms of your future business, your organisational structures and processes as well as transformation management are identified.

Out of this process flows specific recommendations for action, such as optimising departure times in route planning. This is all part of an effort to ensure that routes are planned as late as possible to give you the flexibility you need to respond to them and as early as possible so that the dispatcher, for example, can plan resources in good time.

Other solutions might include digital mobile assistants that facilitate the transfer of information between the driver and dispatcher or a job sharing platform within the network. These solutions share one thing in common: they all augment the existing formal documentation structures at a company and provide a solid foundation for timely decisions on what steps to take next.
