A new white paper by Hikvision and Logistics Management Magazine has explored how open and collaborative systems can revolutionise logistics operations, offering insights into how integrated ecosystems help break down data silos, enhance visibility, and drive operational efficiency.
In today's rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape, the ability to manage high-volume logistics operations efficiently and effectively is more critical than ever. Supply chain disruptions, changing customer expectations, and rising costs are just a few of the challenges that logistics managers face daily. To navigate these complexities, companies are increasingly turning to integrated technology solutions that can streamline processes, improve decision-making, automate tasks, and enhance customer service levels.
It highlights how connecting systems like ERP, WMS, TMS, and AI-driven yard management can streamline e-commerce logistics, reduce costs, and improve operational agility in high-volume environments.
In the modern logistics landscape, traditional on-premises legacy systems often struggle to communicate with each other, resulting in data silos, manual interventions, and poor visibility across the organisation. These issues are particularly pronounced in e-commerce, where accurate and timely insights have become more important than ever for logistics and supply chain operations, the paper revealed.
To address these and other challenges, smart organisations are using more integrated solutions that break down silos. By connecting different systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Yard Management Systems (YMS), and Video Management Systems (VMS), companies can achieve a unified view of their end-to-end supply chain.
The white paper provides practical examples of how integrated logistics solutions have helped e-commerce and high-volume logistics parks. For instance, integrated parcel tracking solutions have enabled warehouses to determine responsibility for damage and lost items, reducing the cost of compensation. Yard management systems, integrated with transportation management platforms, use AI to recognise license plates and container numbers, ensuring the orderly movement of vehicles at the gate, loading dock, and yard.
