Supply chain visibility crucial to risk mitigation

Increased supply chain visibility reduces logistics risks while using a software solution that forms part of a large global network, and offers geo compliance capabilities, helps companies comply with industry standards and regulations. “Substantial growth in the global marketplace has led to more complexities within the supply chain and therefore increased risks. Increased volumes also lead to increased errors, ” says Moshe Zulberg, group business development director at logistics information technology (IT) company, CompuClearing. He believes IT systems and software solutions that offer the latest technologies, such as cloud-based solutions, remove the hassle of managing and maintaining hardware and provide the backups and technical expertise that are a necessity to avoid risks in business processes. “To reduce errors and ensure full supply chain visibility, it is important to partner with an IT company that provides complete disaster recovery plans and support, allowing companies to focus on their core business,” says Zulberg. In addition it is important to have flexible solutions, that are simple to use but offer advanced capabilities such as complete user access control as well as data validation that considerably reduces errors, explains Zulberg. Furthermore, to optimise productivity in a business, the right IT tools help to guide staff through tasks and remove all duplication of data while simultaneously automating processes and distributing information and documents to all interested parties when required. “The CargoWise One solution, offered by CompuClearing, provides a single software platform that covers all the business needs of logistics companies – from forwarding, to warehousing, road transport to container packing and more – providing full visibility and access,” says Zulberg. He comments that this system, developed by WiseTech Global, allows companies to scale up and down as required. “All solutions are cloud hosted on multiple servers with live mirroring, ensuring complete disaster recovery planning,” says Zulberg.
