Monitor all hub operations and cargo movements. Have full transparency throughout all logistics network operations. Shippers and 3PL can monitor the movement of their goods and may have a dashboard presenting progress and performance of the operations. The MIXMOVE solution uses the GS1 SSCC for this purpose.
Bypass blocked hubs by using other hubs or shipping directly (Hub/DC Bypass).
Bypass lanes that are blocked by easily re-route goods flows via different hubs and carriers.
Replacing non-operational carriers instantly by switching to another carrier.
Bypassing a warehouse by having the goods flowing to another warehouse or even directly to the various custo- mers.
Traceability and management of all resources such as loads, products, pallets and containers from start to end in all types of logistics operations, including all relevant information as the final destination and the terms and conditions that have been agreed between sender and receiver.
Provide customers and supply chain partners with all relevant status updates on logistics execution as to arrival time, item quantity, and item details.
Track and predict the location and condition of any product, pallet container and driver at any time.
With MIXMOVE LIGHTHOUSE all information and data of the logistic landscape is centralized in one single platform! Control and manage your logistic flows transparent, more direct, and minimize human mistakes.
Connect with drivers wherever they are. Each stop is automatically added to the drivers’ portable screen, and the solution notifies them when a change is made to the scheduled route.
Developments in recent months have brought the vulnerability of supply chains to disruption into focus. Much of this results from a lack of visibility of products and inventory, whether in stock at the warehouse or in transit. With this in mind, the ability to collaborate effectively with various supply chain stakeholders is becoming increasingly important. Accurate data of all partners and resources, as well as their visibility, is the key to better results and cost savings.
MIXMOVE LIGHTHOUSE allows you to work with all logistic applications and partners in one data driven application. The platform allows teams to manage, predict and analyze every logistic event on product level in the best possible way, no matter where it comes from. This opens up the dynamics and agility required for e-commerce types of flows. You achieve immediate success without cost-intensive or time-consuming adjustments to your IT landscape.
Increasing driver shortages, blockages caused by COVID-19, increasing changes in climate and weather, the growing number of attacks on transportation assets such as trucks and ships, or the threat of severe cyberattacks - all these challenges can put your logistics at risk and disrupt the supply of goods. Delivery delays lead loss of customer trust, damage to your brand's reputation and also incur significant costs.
As a result, more and more companies are turning to data-driven logistics planning and tracking with MIXMOVE to increase resource visibility and improve supply chain traceability. Bringing all data together not only gives companies visibility, it also promotes decision-making efficiency in the event of disruptions and strengthens supply chain resilience.
In addition, collaborating real-time data can help with dynamic route optimization, driver-facing solutions, and commercial vehicle estimated time of arrival to further increase efficiency, enabling greater flexibility and scaling for fleet managers.
Modern supply chains are complex and require a variety of actors and resources, including producers, third-party service providers, transportation assets and goods, among others. Monitoring, controlling and managing transactions and the movement of assets or goods between organizations are key to a company's success. This also applies to monitoring and maintaining product status, verifying the origin of a product and its components.
Companies around the world, such as 3M and DHL are thinking outside of silos and using MIXMOVE to connect all data in one intelligent system. MIXMOVE solves this problem without interfering with companies' existing system landscape. MIXMOVE uses the data from your systems and supplements it with fine-granular information on product level. You achieve immediate success without cost-intensive or time-consuming adjustments to your IT landscape. Achieve unprecedented real-time visibility of products, assets and partners, leverage your capacities in the most effective way and benefit from new insights of your logistic network.
The logistics and transport industry in particular will have to reckon with additional costs in the coming years in regards to Co2 reduction and the approach of sustainable commerce. Companies are too quick to invest in new means of transport or warehouses without making the best possible use of existing resources. The reason: a lack of overview of the best possible utilization of all resources - whether in-house or via third-party service providers. As an example: Low capacity loading due to classic loading principles is a widespread problem in Europe, but only very few logistics managers are aware of it. Status quo: the average truck fill rate in Europe is only 52%. As a result, 48% of the transport volume is air, hence unused capacity. A highly unprofitable situation for companies whose ambition is to make the supply chain efficient and effective. MIXMOVE solves this problem:
Based on existing resources and capacities, MIXMOVE chaotic loading / chaotic cross docking enables full asset and network utilization regardless of the mode of transport, continuously meeting contemporary customer expectations and delivery promises. Gain more turnover by cutting unnecessary deliveries and filling your carriers to the maximum, or by filling your available space with new customer orders. Chaotic loading allows you to fasten your shipping process without changing your supply chain.
