Online Logistic Management System: The flow of goods from their point of origin to the point of consumption, which is mainly consumers or enterprises is referred to as logistics. The choice of vendors, modes of transportation, routes, and delivery systems are all important aspects of logistical operations. Logistics management is an element of the supply chain that stores and delivers goods and services to customers through planning and implementation. It organizes a number of key supply chain processes ranging from product development to commercialization.

Features

 
  • 360-degree visibility on complete in-mine and ex-mine logistics operation
  • Elimination of guesswork in navigation in large mines and stockyards – thus, reduced turnaround time for mineral carriers
  • Faster throughput for optimal weighbridge utilization
  • Automatic identification of mineral carrying vehicles
  • Seamless Integration between Hardware & Software Components (ERP, Mines & Minerals Management System, Weighbridge ecosystem)
  • Centralized viewing of all inbound and outbound material
  • Congestion-free operation & traffic managem
