Global and regional disruptions have reinforced the vital importance of supply chains, but also highlighted their fragility in some cases. Today, perhaps more than ever there is a greater need for investments in supply chain technology solutions like visibility, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics to drive better resilience, agility, and performance.
The growing importance of real-time visibility
Research confirms that supply chain resilience is a top priority for many shippers as they navigate global disruptions and increased expectations. According to the 2021 Gartner Future of Supply Chain Survey of nearly 1,000 supply chain professionals, “60% of CSCOs are expected to make faster, more accurate and consistent decisions in real time.”
To emphasize the importance and growth of transportation visibility solutions, Gartner recently published its 2022 Magic Quadrant for Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platforms (RTTVP). The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors based on completeness of vision and ability to execute; helping shippers visually compare vendor options and analyze how each provider aligns with their business goals.
We’re proud to be included and named as a Challenger in this trusted report by one of the world’s leading research and advisory companies. Our real-time visibility platform, Navisphere® Vision, is backed by the scale of the world’s most connected logistics platform.
Real-time visibility with Navisphere® Vision
Navisphere Vision, delivered by TMC, helps you see your global supply chain in one place. By pulling in data and status updates from your third-party vendors and suppliers—plus weather, traffic, and geopolitical monitoring sources—our platform provides real-time visibility and insights to inventory at-rest or in-motion so you can deliver on promises to customers.
Through data science, AI, and machine learning, Navisphere Vision helps you track, monitor, and react to supply chain disruptions before they occur—across any mode or any region around the world. And with Navisphere Vision’s Internet of Things (IoT) device connectivity, real-time visibility goes beyond location. You can monitor and immediately mitigate issues when shipments are impacted by shock, tilt, humidity, light, temperature, or pressure.
Navisphere Vision is a carrier-neutral technology that is supported by the scale and information advantage of C.H. Robinson’s $28 billion in freight under management, 20 million annual shipments, and connectivity to more than 200,000 customers and contract carriers.
Create consistency and predictability through visibility
What valuable business insights can your company gain from real-time visibility? Beyond seeing your entire supply chain in one place, real-time visibility can help you achieve greater predictability through improved inventory management, automated decision modeling, and connectivity to supply chain providers.
Real-time visibility tools also help you manage the exponential growth of data produced by supply chains and increased customer expectations.
Turn data into actionable insights
As the amount of supply chain data explodes, turning that data into useable information can be challenging—especially if you are pulling the data from multiple platforms. Add agility to your supply chain with predictive and prescriptive analytics that reveal actionable business insights.
Deliver on promises to customers
Today’s customers expect to see their order progress through every stage of the journey. Additionally, delivery speed, flexibility, and consistency are not only expectations but demands.
This makes supply chain visibility vital to delivering positive customer experiences. With real-time visibility and proactive alerts, Navisphere Vision makes you the first to know about shipment status updates, delays, or disruptions so you can deliver quality service to your customers.
Build your business case for real-time visibility
Real-time transportation visibility platforms are no longer considered an emerging technology. Instead, they’ve become pillars of modern supply chain strategy. And they will only grow in importance as the market evolves and technology advances.
Don’t let the lack of real-time visibility hold back your supply chain. Request a demo of Navisphere Vision today.
