The estimated size of the global logistics industry ranges from $8 trillion to $12 trillion annually. Armstrong & Associates Inc. is forecasting the total global logistics costs to continue to grow at a more than 5% compounded annual growth rate through 2023.

As Logisticians and Freight Forwarders, you have to look for innovative strategies to match the demand while staying competitive. Here we jot down some of the growth strategies that you can implement for destined success.

AUTOMATION IN DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS

Make technology your friend for the greater gains in your business. The industry players who adopted freight & logistics technology early on did not feel the jolt of the Covid-19 pandemic. Couple freight software technology with your business functions to experience the power of automation. Among the things that a freight forwarding ERP can do for you include: 

Reduce the redundant data entry

Handle auto tax calculation

Auto Reminders for Outstanding payments

Generating Bill of Entry, Bill of Lading, E-invoicing, and other documents

EVERYBODY ON THE DECK OF DATA AND INFORMATION

Disparate systems are the major reasons for delays in operation. Operational and Functional Information in traditional Logistics offices sits on systems that are old, slow, and incapable of data exchange. 

The result of readily-available data provides pathways of clear communication both within the organization and to external stakeholders. Logistics Management Software allows real-time access to a centralized database so you can turn delays into speedy operations. Another significant advantage of real-time and in-sync data availability is faster decision-making.

SCALING UP AND DOWN

Cloud-based Freight Forwarder solutions give your customers access to your services all the time. Being web-based, the Logistics Software can be accessed via an Internet-enabled browser from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone app. Cloud Logistics solutions also give you the flexibility to add modules like Warehouse, Transport, Accounts, Sales, and Service as the need arises. 

Based on how you want to grow, you may choose the Cloud-hosted pay-as-you-go model and be relieved of acquiring any hardware at all. 

If you are a Forwarder who likes to be in control of your hardware and network infrastructure, Logi-Sys also offers on-premise installation.

GIVE MORE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

On average, it takes a shipper a couple of days to receive a complete quotation from a Freight Forwarder. To add to this excruciating delay, your potential leads have to follow up by phone or email to obtain the quotation. This puts off many shippers as there are much quicker and convenient ways to do this.

Freight Solutions like Logi-Sys provide stand-alone and integrated portals for shippers via self-logins for:

Requesting shipping quotations

Confirming and booking of actual Shipment and Container 

Submit and upload import and export compliance documents

Track and Trace shipments

Empower your customers by providing them information faster and also the visibility of all progress.
