Challenges that come your way

# Unavailability of Data in real-time 
When data of the organization is not availed to its people in real-time, it leads to increased chances of errors, duplication of effort and mismanagement of daily operations. With this comes complexity in forecasting the customer demand and planning inventory according to the upcoming demand, immediate product demand leads to delayed deliveries and high freight costs.

# Poor tracking of goods in transit
In order to identify the delivery process bottlenecks, the goods and their status is to be tracked in real-time. Poor tracking of goods does not allow to plan the schedules accurately, when the goods are to arrive ? how should the further production be planned ? When should the logistics provider be aligned ? getting answers to all these questions becomes a very time consuming task when the business is unaware of the delivery status of its goods.

# Inefficient planning of Delivery Routes 
Inefficient delivery routes use more miles and time than needed. There are multiple permutations and combinations to consider and decide the delivery routes that suit best to the business. Manual planning methods take more time and do not give the most efficient routes, and the danger of missed and late deliveries greatly increases.

# Inefficient Inventory Management 
A gamut of challenges such as omni-channel sales, seasonal demand fluctuation, overstocking, out-of-stock situations, back orders, order returns, and the constant striving for ever-shorter lead times create pressure for better warehouse process and operations management.
