Enabled by big data and the increasing automation of operational processes, businesses from a wide variety of industries rely more and more on shipment tracking. The implementation of a Track & Trace system enabled Mercedes-Benz AG to automatically determine both the current and past locations of specific objects. The benefits include an increase in end-to-end transparency across the entire supply chain and the ability to identify levers for cost savings.
Track & Trace is well suited to the highly complex networks common in the automotive industry, where many different partners are involved in shipments between consolidation points and overseas plants and different modes of transportation are utilized. In such a complex environment, integrating Track & Trace into long supply chains ensures that end-to-end transparency is maintained.
Working together with 4flow, the automotive manufacturer successfully and efficiently carried out an initial Track & Trace rollout. Thanks to an operations model designed by 4flow, coupled with user training focused on the long term, the automotive manufacturer is now well equipped to connect additional shipping lanes to the system.
