Does logistics automation software offer enough business benefits over using Excel to justify the cost of installing and maintaining the system?

Spreadsheets are prone to errors As the data held in Excel grows overtime, the propensity for mistakes in formulae increases; an error in a single cell can become very difficult to trace and fix before it causes a costly mistake. Spreadsheets slow down digitalization and digital maturity Spreadsheets are an outdated way to store data as they are not very scalable and can be unreliable (the larger the file, the greater the chance of the file becoming corrupted). By using multiple spreadsheets, data within an organisation is siloed and difficult to share across multiple teams and therefore Excel-based processes cannot be integrated into company-wide workflows. Risk to organizational compliance Information security can be at risk by using spreadsheets to store data as there is a lack of robust and secure entity management options. It is also difficult to enforce policies and track compliance.

Can a logistics system do more than basic ERP functions such as managing transportation and generating documents for print? Is It possible to assign the appropriate vehicle to an order through real-time scheduling and optimization?

The load planning process typically involves several modes of transportation, last-minute cargo changes and many other factors that need to be considered to ensure a timely and cost-effective delivery. Current trends indicate that growing complexity cannot be managed without proper digital tools. Multimodal transportation is the best example of where the outcome relies heavily on the system that is used to solve the problem. It is the most complex task which combines FTL and LTL transportation models. The most efficient way to manage this kind of logistics is by using an open-source platform in which each stakeholder can input information such as how to deliver the cargo, time and price. Algorithms can then process the suitable options and build an end-to-end route and quotation provided by various carriers for the customer

Can businesses provide their end-users with system access to show cargo information?

Jmix allow businesses to develop solutions that meet all their specific requirements including pre-requisites for external parties such as the ability to show cargo tracing data. This means that companies can create flexible solutions without compromising on flexibility or security.

Can a system be created with geographical zones that trigger changes to order delivery statuses e.g. GPS triggers arrival at unload zone, driver to exit vehicle?

More sophisticated workflows like this are possible with Jmix and add-ons. These add-ons enrich applications with additional functionality such as intuitive manipulation of spatial data and visual representations in the form of dashboards. An out of the box system cannot anticipate and be ready for every single requirement and therefore configurable, flexible platforms are more able to meet complex operational needs.

Does the system provide, or can it be integrated with a trade module in which external carriers can bid for orders?

When companies opt for rapid application development platforms like Jmix to automate processes, there are many integration options. Large external carriers provide API tools for integrations which facilitate real-time information exchange, allowing businesses to compare prices and choose the best deals for cargo.

What is the pricing model for a single license? Does it provide SaaS?

An enterprise license allows companies to add advanced enterprise features and costs $150 per month for one developer. It includes geo-information system features, visual BPMN&DMN modeler, BPM for internal automation and many other features that will support quick application development. As Jmix is open-source it accelerates speed of innovation without vendor lock-in. Find out how Jmix can address your need in logistic automation
