Summary

How to reduce costs and increase efficiency with accurate location data

Paper logs and spreadsheets were once the biggest threat to operational efficiency. While that remains for some operations, today companies have mountains of data but disjointed processes and data silos make it difficult to extract value from that data.

In order to optimize vehicle and shipment efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain a competitive advantage, manufacturers, shippers and 3PLs are leveraging highly-precise location technology.
Join the discussion on the value of accurate location data and the impact it can have on your operations. Attendees will learn how:
  • Highly accurate location data can improve route efficiency and shipment visibility
  • Simplifying duplicate and disjointed address databases can reduce costs
  • To unlock value from your existing data and data management best practices
