Supply Chain Visibility Transportation

Increasing regulations and shrinking margins.  Tighter turnaround times and pressure for time-definite delivery. Transportation and logistics organizations face intense business challenges. 

Unisys Supply Chain Visibility solutions help these organizations streamline operations and increase efficiency through increased visibility. 

That means they can:

• Automate checkpoints at large-scale distribution centers and warehouses to eliminate errors and increase the velocity of shipping and loading processes.
• Use track-and-trace systems to verify that the right load in the right truck is going to the right destination. 
• Improve both the efficiency and security of baggage handling processes at airports
• Monitor the specific locations of vehicles on huge lots, thereby streamlining check-in procedures and minimizing unnecessary upgrades. 

We even offer advanced cargo portal and logistics management services that make it easy for carriers and their customers to manage all aspects of freight processing — from schedules and bookings to status and final delivery information.
