Intermodal shipments are advancing at a dizzying pace, and so is shipment monitoring technology. The industry has taken three distinct approaches to intermodal shipment tracking, namely carrier data aggregation approach, IoT sensor approach, and a blended ‘sensor + non-sensor’ platform approach. Let’s explore how these three approaches address intermodal shipment tracking. Learn about the level of visibility that each of these approaches offers to enable you to achieve On-Time In-Full (OTIF) deliveries and cold chain compliance in multimodal shipping across road, rail, air, or ocean.

The automotive spare parts industry is a highly competitive domain. Spare parts manufacturers, vendors, and suppliers are continually battling unclear demand signal, demand-supply fluctuations, and friction in the automotive supply chain. More importantly, if you misread demand signals, your operation might be prone to losing sales to your competitors or incur additional costs. 

In all of this, a next-generation inventory management system — backed by real-time visibility — has a lot to offer in terms of supply chain optimization duties, especially in obtaining accurate demand signals. Roambee regularly engages with automotive supply chain players to help realize this, and in this article, we look at one such success story. 

We will learn how a leading aftermarket automotive battery distributor is transforming its automotive supply chain with real-time inventory visibility and clear demand signals across its operational footprint! 

Just as COVID-19 vaccine distribution efforts began helping the global economy emerge from the economic impact of the pandemic, the Suez Canal disruption hit. Now that the Canal is open again, the global supply chain is adjusting to yet another “black swan” event – and recognizing the need for end-to-end supply chain visibility.

Chemical supply chains stand at the crossroads of another upgrade; on one end there are traditional methods that pose challenges and on the other you have compelling technology solutions. Discover the significant challenges that lack of real-time visibility brings and how your organization can cope with them better.
