“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Abraham Lincoln
Freight forwarders and logistics companies that rely on CargoWise are no strangers to the challenges of managing complex supply chains. One of the most critical hurdles they face is the lack of real-time visibility into their operations. But what if there was a way to solve this issue, offering insight and an entire solution to streamline logistics? That’s where Supply Hoop comes in.
Supply Hoop is an innovative mobile application designed specifically for freight forwarders who use CargoWise. It offers a comprehensive platform to track shipments, manage inventory, and enhance communication between multiple freight providers. This dynamic tool is revolutionizing how businesses approach logistics management, by combining disparate, isolated systems into a unified, real-time solution that links all supply chain partners.
The Visibility Challenge in Logistics
The logistics business is accustomed to complicated operations involving numerous touchpoints and multiple stakeholders, each with their own data, processes, and systems. In the past, tracking shipments, controlling inventories, and guaranteeing smooth communication between freight providers included the use of spreadsheets, emails, and phone conversations. This divided approach resulted in inefficiencies, confusion, and, eventually, a lack of visibility.
For any supply chain to be successful, visibility is essential. Without it, freight forwarders find it difficult to accurately assess the present state of shipments, which can result in delays, poor management, and ultimately disgruntled clients. Furthermore, poor decision-making, higher operating costs, and decreased customer satisfaction might result from the inability to track shipments in real-time.
These difficulties are significantly more severe for CargoWise users. CargoWise, a popular ERP system in the logistics sector, has strong features but lacks the smooth integration required for real-time tracking and stakeholder engagement. Supply Hoop fills the void in this situation.
How Supply Hoop Addresses Visibility Challenges
1. Real-Time Tracking Across Multiple Freight Providers
Supply Hoop provides real-time shipment tracking, regardless of the freight provider involved. To receive updates, traditional systems may require entering into many portals or contacting various vendors. Supply Hoop stores all of your shipment data in one spot. With this centralized method, you can predict any delays, check the progress of your shipments instantaneously, and make well-informed decisions without having to deal with the exchange of information that usually slows things down.
For CargoWise users, this feature is especially valuable. By seamlessly integrating with CargoWise, Supply Hoop provides a unified platform to access real-time data, reducing the need for manual data entry and minimizing human error. The result? Faster, more efficient decision-making that keeps your supply chain running smoothly.
2. Simplified Communication and Collaboration
Communication is key in logistics. Yet, for many freight forwarders, keeping track of communications between various stakeholders, suppliers, shipping agents, freight forwarders, and customers can be overwhelming. Supply Hoop eliminates this issue by offering collaborative tools that allow all stakeholders to communicate directly within the app.
Whether you need to notify a customer of a delay or communicate with a vendor about an urgent shipment, Supply Hoop provides a central hub for messaging. This reduces the risk of miscommunication and ensures that everyone is on the same page. And because it’s mobile, you can manage communications on the go, making it easier to stay connected no matter where you are.
3. Inventory Management and Alerts
For many logistics businesses, managing inventory is an ongoing challenge. Without real-time updates, companies often find themselves in the dark about stock levels, which can lead to either overstocking or running out of essential items. Supply Hoop’s inventory management feature gives users full visibility into their stock levels, letting them know when to restock and when to pull inventory to fulfill urgent orders.
Additionally, users can set up automatic alerts to notify them when stock levels are low, shipments are delayed, or other critical events occur. This proactive approach helps freight forwarders stay ahead of issues before they escalate, reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes and delays.
4. Data Integration with CargoWise for Smarter Decisions
One of the biggest pain points for CargoWise users is the integration of their ERP system with other tools. Supply Hoop solves this by offering a seamless connection with CargoWise, so you don’t have to worry about data theft. Instead, you can access and analyze all your logistics data in real-time, allowing for smarter decisions across the entire supply chain.
The real-time data integration enables CargoWise users to gain actionable insights into their operations. For example, businesses can track trends in shipment times, identify inefficiencies in the supply chain, and make adjustments to improve performance. This level of insight helps logistics managers optimize operations and reduce unnecessary costs.
