Logistics trucking companies are constantly under pressure to react quickly to change. Their customers expect consistent, on-time delivery of their services. At the same time, these businesses must be more energy and environmentally conscious.
Such demands necessitate trucking companies in Raleigh NC recognizing and reacting to changing events faster than ever before. That is why many logistics companies are looking for real-time insights into event data to “see what’s coming.”
They intend to combine data management with real-time event analysis.
This is made possible by a Complex Event Processing solution. It’s ideal for high-volume logistics trucking operations. It provides real-time actionable data from both within and outside of a company. In short, when a company has instant, easy access to meaningful event data when it matters most, it becomes more competitive, responsive, and customer-focused.
Until now, this has been difficult due to the volume of event data, which comes from a variety of systems both inside and outside an organization. It has been extremely difficult to extract relevant information.
The right CEP solution solves this problem by filtering, correlating, and aggregating relevant event data from virtually any source on the fly. An intuitive dashboard displays new Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and other real-time data. These real-time insights can be used to automatically adapt business decisions and processes to changing conditions. This level of integration enables a bank to respond to virtually any event in real time.
One of the advantages of a Complex Event Processing solution is the ability to:
- Stay on top of millions of events, such as route deviations, and take immediate action to respond faster.
- Respond to changing conditions as soon as possible.
- Improve the management of the massive amounts of event data generated by warehouse, transportation, and vehicle management systems, as well as environmental data.
- Improve demand forecasting in order to balance staff workload during peaks and valleys.
- Service Level Agreements must be monitored and met (SLAs).
- Ensure the timely and dependable delivery of goods and services to any location.
- Improve your efficiency.
CEP-enabled applications include fleet and operation management, which allows a logistics trucking company to:
- Get the right people, materials, and trucks to the right places at the right time.
- Track the location of your fleet and cargo, as well as detect route deviations in real time.
- Get the most up-to-date arrival estimates.
- Observe customer SLAs
- With real-time visualisation of position streams, drivers can see where their trucks are at any given time.
- Modeled routes should be visualised.
- Using a continuous geofencing query, you can determine which trucks are closest to customers.
- Continuous aggregates can tell you how many trucks are driving, loading, and unloading, as well as how many are low-loaded or off track.
