As supply chains continue to face challenges and volatility,
real-time visibility of orders and shipments has become a critical necessity
. In this context, transportation visibility platforms emerge as key tools to improve the efficiency and resilience of logistics and transportation operations. But what exactly is a transportation visibility platform and how does it differ from other systems, like a TMS (Transportation Management System)?
A Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platform is a tool built on technological developments that provide precise and updated information on the location and status of orders. The interesting thing about these platforms is that they are not limited to tracking shipments, but also integrate with other supply chain players, such as suppliers, manufacturers, or third-party services, creating an ecosystem or logistics network that allows for a powerful connection and integration to have all the information on a single platform.
Unlike traditional Transportation Management Systems (TMS), which primarily focus on the planning, optimization, and execution of transportation, Transportation Visibility Platforms provide an additional layer of
real-time monitoring
that allows companies to more effectively manage their operations, from delivery to final receipt.
Exclusive Indicators of Logistics Visibility Platforms
Real-Time Shipment Status.
They provide constant information on the exact location of orders in transit. This allows supply chain managers to make informed decisions in real time about possible delays or route deviations.
Predictive Arrival Estimation.
They generate precise predictions adapted to current conditions. This helps to foresee the arrival of shipments with greater accuracy, even in unpredictable situations like extreme weather or route blockages.
Incident and Deviation Detection.
They can identify unexpected events in real time, such as unscheduled stops, accidents, or route deviations. This capability allows for a quicker response to mitigate potential delays.
Provider and Carrier Performance.
They allow you to analyze the performance of carriers and providers over time. This indicator is not only limited to measuring the fulfillment of delivery times, but also evaluates the accuracy of the information provided, operational efficiency, and automation.
