At first, when projects are small, logistics seems like something that can be handled with a certain degree of flexibility. But when the volume of operations begins to grow and customers expect faster and more efficient services, the story changes. That's when automating logistics processes becomes not just a convenient decision, but an essential strategy for keeping pace with the market and avoiding delivery failures.
Logistics automation involves more than just incorporating technology; it requires rethinking workflows to achieve a more efficient, accurate, and profitable operation. That's why Delego wants to share the most important tools for automating your logistics and the key benefits this transformation can bring to your company.
What is logistics automation?
Logistics automation involves using technology to perform tasks and processes that were traditionally done manually. This includes everything from inventory and order management to transportation and final delivery. The goal is to reduce errors, optimize times, minimize costs, and improve the customer experience. Some notable features and tools that can significantly benefit you in improving your operations are as follows:
Total visibility of deliveries in progress
Delego provides complete visibility of deliveries in progress. Through custom fields, you can associate each order with specific details, such as the type of product or the assigned vehicle. In addition, its real-time tracking system allows you to know the exact location of each vehicle, facilitating the monitoring of delivery status and ensuring complete traceability from the moment the order leaves the warehouse until it arrives at the customer.
Intelligent transport management
Delego incorporates features equivalent to those of a (TMS) management system, allowing you to plan and execute routes efficiently. The system automatically calculates the fastest and most cost-effective routes based on geographic location, traffic, weather, and delivery priorities.
Operational integration for faster decisions
In this regard, Delego focuses on integrating the entire delivery chain. From order generation to fulfillment, all parties (warehouse, carriers, operators, and customer service) work on the same platform. This reduces coordination times, avoids duplication of tasks, and centralizes information for faster and more accurate decision-making.
What are the benefits of automating my logistics?
By reducing the burden of repetitive manual tasks, teams can focus on strategic activities, while automated systems streamline order preparation and dispatch. This translates into significantly improved response times and the ability to meet faster delivery times. Although the initial investment in automation may seem high, its medium- and long-term benefits are significant, helping to boost productivity and enhance the company's reputation for operational excellence in multiple areas.
Our comprehensive platform optimizes last-mile logistics with key tools such as automatic order assignment to the field team, smart routes that increase productivity and reduce costs, a control tower for real-time monitoring of operations, and customized forms that capture relevant workflow information such as photos and signatures.
