Niranjan Navaratnarajah, cargo industry director for Unisys Asia Pacific, argues that real-time data is fundamental to a connected cargo supply chain to reduce idle time and increase visibility, transparency and security.
To achieve this, the entire cargo industry needs to adopt centralised datasets that are updated in real-time using mobile devices, automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) to hasten processes and allow buyers and sellers to access up-to-date and accurate information. This ‘connected cargo supply chain’ offers customers greater visibility, certainty and satisfaction.
