The regulatory, economic and workforce challenges present in the transportation industry, drive leaders to embrace innovation.
As fuel prices rise, the need for eco-friendly transport grows and customers’ expectations increases (for shorter delivery, reduced costs, and real-time tracking), digital transformation is a must to compete and succeed in this challenging industry.
Where speed and time are critical factors, new technologies help leaders to plan and execute the physical movement of goods and facilitate decision making, follow-ups, inventory management, route planning, load optimization and cost reduction.
Minds change when they see how much we can do with a small team. We wouldn’t be doing development ourselves if we didn’t have a tool like FileMaker — it never took more than a handful of people to build the solution. This is important because of cost, obviously. But to me, as IT manager, what is even more important here in Africa, is to stay in control of solutions.
