Transportation has been integral to human civilization for centuries. Goods have been transported on donkeys, boats, humans, horse carriages, and, in today’s world, by motorized vehicles, airplanes, and large cargo ships. Over the past 25 years, the rise of e-commerce and next-day shipping initiated by logistics companies has transformed customer expectations. Nowadays, when purchasing an item online, customers can choose their preferred delivery time (morning, night, weekends, weekdays, etc.). This flexibility allows recipients to better plan their day and avoid waiting in anticipation for deliveries.
To facilitate this precise delivery timing, nearly all companies now offer real-time shipment visibility through mobile applications, websites, or notification services like SMS, WhatsApp, and LINE. Digital technology is the key enabler of this capability, and Spinclabs is at the forefront of building the digital framework necessary for delivery visibility and precise timing.
In the not-too-distant past, most of us had no visibility into the location of our goods once they were shipped. It felt like the shipment disappeared into a black hole, only to arrive days or months later. Technology has revolutionized this process, offering complete shipment visibility from origin to destination.
While real-time shipment visibility is common in last-mile delivery and e-commerce platforms, it is still lacking in many B2B companies due to insufficient GPS coverage or inadequate technology systems. Spinclabs addresses this gap by collaborating with telecommunications companies to use the driver’s mobile phone location as a proxy for goods movement, significantly reducing GPS hardware costs and simplifying the process (with the driver’s consent).
Our Transport Management Services (TMS) provides real-time visibility and helps you optimize your logistics requirement to address all the modern day challenges.
