Let's Talk !
The transportation industry remains a vital economic component. Responsible for supplying businesses with stock and services required to drive economies, the industry’s role was magnified and reevaluated during the global pandemic. As the labor force faced unprecedented challenges, businesses struggled amidst supply chain issues.
The transportation industry continues to rebound post-pandemic. With invaluable resources created by expert-level software developers, it continues reestablishing its role as a vital component of the global economic system by utilizing technology to enhance its dispatch and operation systems while working to power businesses and boost the global economy.
The ability to efficiently transport goods, supplies, and the workforce are fundamental to the success of any economy. Government officials have significantly invested in supply chain infrastructure, working to mitigate challenges due to the pandemic and ensure the economy recovers.
The U.S. presidential administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law seeks to reinvest in railways, roadways, ports, and overall infrastructure to enable all logistics industries to efficiently utilize all resources to overhaul and boost supply chain performance in response to the pandemic’s economic disruption.
Economists have lauded the industry as the backbone of economies. The current administration’s heavy investment in supply chain management and the transportation industry reinforces the need to prevent reoccurring supply chain disruptions that globally impact economies and crippled businesses. The recent adoption of the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force continues monitoring all phases of the supply chain and transportation industry to mitigate workflow disruptions.
The U.S. government is making additional efforts to boost the industry labor pool by reducing requirements for obtaining CDLs. The intention is designed to increase staffing in response to growing demands for trucking and supply chain services, ultimately ensuring there is no availability shortage of qualified drivers.
Technology continues aiding the transportation industry’s goal of exceeding today’s business challenges and as software designers continue evolving resources, AI is now embraced as the newest resource to further streamline the industry.
AI-driven resources for the transportation industry have presented dynamic options for companies working to mitigate challenges. Software developers integrating an AI-based solution with third-party mapping, Geographic Information System (GIS), geo-fencing and real-time route optimization features enables the transportation and supply chain industry to successfully continue their respective, strong rebounds.
The Association for Supply Chain Management, a leading industry trade group announced AI and Machine Learning as key topics amongst recently analyzed market trends. The demand for custom dispatch software solutions is clear and an expert-level software developer working to create a robust solution would be poised to capture market share by including and enhancing the following features.
Fleet Efficiency, Customized Routing. Utilizing data intelligence algorithms with machine learning, companies organize fleets to reduce mileage and total amount of vehicles being used. This would have no consequence on delivery services, as algorithms accurately calculate resources needed, time, and distance required to efficiently complete delivery routes.
Intelligent Dispatching. Utilizing AI algorithms, accurate reports compute personnel delivery progress during routes, real-time delay reports, and importantly, matching a driver’s skillset with job requirements to ensure delivery protocols are followed with client expectations exceeded.
Remote inventory monitoring. Utilizing satellite technology, a company can monitor a customer’s inventory level in real-time, and automate the delivery process of new product stock. This innovation reduces the steps of traditional supply/replenishment processes and enables businesses to have steady, on-hand products used for services with proactive dispatch planning.
Geospatial Mapping. Customized routing logistics create accurate, detailed route maps in real time and reduce logistics delays and supply chain disruptions.
The transportation and supply chain industries are integral to the global economy. Tasked with transporting raw materials, products, and building supplies for the construction of critical infrastructure, the recent government investment in resources to boost the industry reinforces its recognized value. The American Trucking Associations, a leading trade group, reported that the industry is responsible for safely delivering 72% of the country’s freight.
The industry continues its strong rebound from the global pandemic. Its utilization of software-based resources further enables streamlined services, reduced workflow disruption, and intelligent dispatching to exceed customer demands.
Software developers continue to be integral to the industry’s success because of the intuitive tech resources it relies on to succeed in competitive markets. AI-based enhancements enable the industry to mitigate challenges and complete service tasks directly responsible for driving and supplying today’s global economy.
With transportation and supply chain industries standing as the backbone of global economies, software developers enhancing robust programs with AI will not only generate consistent revenue streams, the ongoing government support for such industries all but ensures longevity and significant financial support, which will boost sales and profit margins for software developers seeking to grow their presence within the transportation and supply chain markets.
