Technology in logistics offers a more productive supply chain that is safer, more sustainable, and more efficient. Here are just some of the innovative technologies we’re using to optimize your supply chain:

• Your systems integrate directly with ours thanks to Application Programming Interfaces (API's) that enable the smooth and automated exchange of information

• Big Data turns unstructured information into valuable insights, helping you to make better decisions. This is particularly useful for  predictive analytics and risk reduction

• We apply machine learning and artificial intelligence for advanced pattern recognition that assists with quality management and predictive maintenance

• Our Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring sensors track temperature, geolocation, and other data in real-time during transportation so that we can assure quality, process efficiency, and traceability.

• Blockchain technology supports the tamper-proof exchange of data between partners and eliminates the need for additional communication channels to overcome trust and data security issues.
