Logistics & Distribution

Hyper-competitive markets demand a shift from legacy approaches that rely on third-party location signals across stitched-together shipment legs. Poor real-time data leads to expedited costs and increased safety stock.

With ParkourSC, move beyond manual processes, disjointed track-and-trace capabilities, and indirect data sources that delay timely intervention. By coordinating product-level sensor signals with enterprise data, you can identify risks earlier and automate a more responsive logistics process.

Managing Port Congestion & Other Lane Variabilities

As products move globally from port to port across international shipping lanes, ParkourSC’s digital supply chain operations platform tracks shipments in real-time with conditional monitoring. This not only provides the actual physical location of stock​, but also provides a picture of variability in demand and supply across all shipping routes and lanes.

The ParkourSC digital supply chain operations platform tracks any signal from any sensor or system to provide early warning to any previously unpredictable delays in transit. This real-time information along with historical shipment data, end-to-end transportation lead time and optimal routes can allow the AI models and business rules in ParkourSC to automatically adjust the supply chain to minimize these delays. In addition, the customer can automatically be informed of these delays.

Layering the predictive model with real-time information from freight forwarders on lane performance along with information of on-hand inventory from the planning network provides the strategic logistics planners with the analysis to avoid any supply disruption and ensure the shipment reaches the customer as expected on time and in full.
