Beyond the Blind Spots: Real-Time Visibility for a Transparent Supply Chain

This comprehensive keynote session is designed to empower supply chain and logistics professionals with the critical insights needed to master the complexities of global transportation. We will embark on a journey to explore the transformative power of real-time visibility and transparency, offering actionable strategies to safeguard your cargo and elevate operational efficiency.

Objectives:

Our primary objective is to share invaluable insights into current transportation practices that, while impacting the global supply chain, also present opportunities to enhance cargo safety and operational excellence. We aim to illuminate these areas and provide a clear roadmap for achieving greater control and success.

Key Themes:

Unlocking Air Shipment Visibility: Discover how leveraging proper licensing for GPS devices in airlines can unlock unparalleled visibility. Gain crucial insights into optimizing transit times by understanding refueling stops or additional flight legs. This newfound data, which empowers you to plan more effectively and strategically, can lead to identifying potential consolidation partners and securing better rates.

Optimizing Customs Clearance and Ground Handling: Learn how real-time visibility can precisely pinpoint the location of a shipment within a facility, even in cases of misrouting. This capability enables immediate, proactive intervention, significantly minimizing delays during critical customs clearance processes and ground handling operations, leading to smoother transitions.

Enhancing Ocean Shipment Efficiency: Understand the profound impact of tracking the precise time containers spend awaiting loading or unloading from vessels. Gain real-time metrics on operational productivity, allowing you to proactively address potential backlogs. This is particularly crucial for intermodal shipments, where seamless transitions between transportation modes are vital. We will place special focus on enhancing rail shipment security while cargo waits in yards, ensuring peace of mind.

Mastering Road Shipment Control: Uncover the potential for greater control in road transportation. Gain visibility into whether team drivers are consistently fulfilling their full trip obligations, if your supplier is optimizing direct shipments, or if drivers are adhering to safe stopping protocols. This real-time insight empowers you to ensure compliance and proactively protect your valuable assets.

Potential Takeaways:

Attendees will leave this session with a clear understanding of common transportation challenges and gain innovative ideas on how to proactively identify and transform them into opportunities for improvement within their own operations.

Value and Relevance:

This keynote will brilliantly showcase the profound benefits of moving toward a truly visible supply chain. We will meticulously outline the key foundational steps that need to be taken prior to deploying a real-time visibility solution, ensuring a smooth, successful, and impactful transition. By attending, you will gain the knowledge and tools to enhance control, mitigate risks, and achieve unprecedented operational clarity, ultimately leading to significantly improved performance metrics and a more resilient, future-ready supply chain.
