Automation vs. Manual Solutions

Most small and medium sized businesses collect an incredible amount of data daily but they often do not leverage that data to their advantage because no one makes them.  These same companies will create spreadsheets and manually populate those spreadsheets rather than automating the process.  Yes automation has a cost attached to it but when you compare how much time and money is spent over time to maintain the manual method, automation is far cheaper over time.  The other benefit of automation is that your company's error rate drops to virtually zero upon conversion.  Let JTB Logistics offer some automation solutions for you to consider.

Single Platform Solution

Businesses that operate out of multiple locations tend to evolve in a disjointed and decentralized fashion over time.  Another consideration to streamline your business and safe cost should be considering centralization of certain functions (Dispatch, Customer Service, Sales, and Accounting) within the business.  JTB Logistics can help evaluate if centralization can help reduce cost in your business.

Dispatch Platform Assessments

Dispatch is one of those business functions that can be accomplished remotely and really from anywhere.  So, to the degree you can centralize your dispatch rather than having dispatchers in several locations, it can possibly save you significant cost.

Accounting Platform Assessments

Accounting can also be accomplished remotely and really from anywhere.  So, to the degree you can centralize your accounting rather than having accounts managed in several locations, it can possibly save you significant cost.

Scanning Solutions

Scanning in large part and historically has been customer or product type centric.  Lots of carriers did not want to invest in scanning unless their customer required that support.  Now that smartphones are the norm and the Amazon effect with a lot more transparency scanning is almost expected at this point.  Even if none of your customers do not require scanning, you should consider yourself at a competitive disadvantage if you're not scanning.  Allow JTB Logistics to share some cost effective ways to begin to scan your deliveries.

KPI & Dashboard Solutions

Identifying and mapping the key performance indicators (KPI’s) that your customers measure your company by is critical.  Creating a dashboard like Power BI that ties together all of your platforms and provides a transparent representation of those KPI’s is a better way to manage how your team is performing.  All team members should have access to the metrics they can control and how they performed at a given time.  Let JTB Logistics help craft an effective solution for you and your team today.
