The Challenge of Modern Logistics: Why Traditional Methods Are Failing?
Traditional logistics, based on spreadsheets, intuition, and simplified algorithms, is becoming obsolete. The volume of data generated daily in a modern logistics operation is gigantic, and the human capacity to process and extract insights from this data is limited.
- Growing Complexity: Global supply chains, demand fluctuations, stringent regulations, and customer expectations for increasingly fast and accurate deliveries make logistics a thousand-piece puzzle.
- Hidden Costs: Wasted fuel on inefficient routes, non-optimized vehicle maintenance, losses due to damage or misplacement, and extra labor costs for error corrections are just the tip of the iceberg of hidden costs.
- Lack of Visibility: Many companies operate in the dark, without a clear, real-time view of where their products are, the condition of the fleet, or the impact of an unexpected event.
- Slow Decision-Making: The ability to react quickly to unforeseen events, such as traffic jams, weather changes, or demand peaks, is crucial. Manual methods simply cannot keep up.
It is in this scenario that AI emerges as the transformative solution. HTI Tecnologia understands these challenges and develops customized AI solutions that act as a true co-pilot for your logistics operation.
