In a global economy, managing the flow of resources from the point of origin to the point of consumption is remarkably complex. The logistics required to move manufactured goods such as finished vehicles from factory to dealers can be a big challenge for OEMs and third-party logistics providers (3PLs)—particularly when movement through an extensive, multi-modal transportation network is involved. An inefficient outbound logistics infrastructure inevitably leads to delayed on-time deliveries and high inventory or stock-out costs.

By monitoring your OBL network in real time and paying close attention to key performance indicators (KPIs), we can help your company run better and run differently all around the world.
