UpSky Tech (UST) has worked with a logistics company that faced challenges related to shipment tracking, inventory management, and supply chain visibility across global operations. They also experienced visibility gaps amid rapid growth, leading to SLA breaches. Reliance on paper manifests caused shipment errors and lacked real-time tracking.
UpSky Tech (UST) deployed a real-time tracking system using AWS IoT services for tracking and managing IoT devices, and AWS IoT Events for real-time detection and response to supply chain events. Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) facilitated containerized application deployment for the tracking system, while Amazon Aurora provided a scalable and high-performance database for managing shipment data. DevOps tools like AWS Code Pipeline and AWS CloudFormation supported automated deployment and infrastructure management for the real-time tracking system.
UST introduced a Transportation Management System (TMS), routing, tracking and electronic proof of delivery using Android mobile devices. Integrated barcode labeling and RFID tagging for asset tracking visibility.
The implementation of the real-time tracking system enhanced supply chain visibility, optimized route planning, and automated inventory management. This resulted in reduced transit times by 19%, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced customer satisfaction for the logistics company. With UpSky Tech work, shipment delay rate reduced from 8% to 2.4% through optimized routing and inventory allocation logic, vehicle utilization improved 14%, customer satisfaction increased with real-time tracking.
