How monitoring the supply chain, applying BI can boost your business
With the upgrade in available technology over the last couple decades, it’s easier to track data from the very first step in the supply chain all the way through the final mile.
Whether your business is a big box grocery store, a small-town shop, the local dairy shop or a restaurant, you rely on the transportation industry to get the products you ordered to your business fresh, on time and in good condition. It’s particularly vital in food transportation to know that the product was kept within its acceptable temperature range, that it was handled correctly and that it was transported with other like product so not to be contaminated.
When it comes to food, today’s consumers demand only the best-of-the-best, which makes it even more important for you to know everything there is to know about how the food products were sourced and how they traveled to you – from farm to fork. Lucky for you, we live in the age of data. With the quantity and quality of data available, leveraging tools like business intelligence (BI) helps to ensure visibility into knowing your food shipments are as safe, fresh and travel to you as efficiently as possible.
