Logistics and Big Data, all about
The logistics industry is well positioned and within the conditions to benefit from the technological advances of Big Data. Logistics providers today manage a huge flow of goods and at the same time, create sets of huge data. For millions of daily shipments, which include controls such as origin and destination, size, weight, content and location, there is a screening and control through global networks. But tracking such data fully exploit the value that can add to the business? We believe that not today.
We can not deny that there is a huge untapped potential to improve operational efficiency and “experiences” with respect to the customer, and even create new, more appropriate business models. Consider, for example, the benefits of integration of data from multiple logistics supply chain providers. This could eliminate the fragmentation of the current market, allowing a powerful new chain collaboration and services.
Many providers imagine that Big Data may change trends in the logistics industry. In a recent international study on supply chain trends (BLV International, 2013), 60% of respondents said they are planning to invest in analysis of Big Data within the next five years.
However, the search for competitive advantage begins with the identification of strong cases of use of Big Data. In this work, we must first look at the organizations that have deployed successfully Big Data analysis in the context of their own industries. Then we must consider a number of specific use cases for the logistics industry.
Capitalize and maximize the value of information assets should be in the medium term, a new strategic goal for most companies and organizations. For corporate powers established on the Internet that created very successful business models oriented information, as well as companies in other sectors that are typically in the early stages of exploration, the challenge is to work to benefit from its growing pile of data and put these data in a position to good use. According to recent research, only 14% of European companies already treat analysis of Big Data as part of its strategic planning and still almost half of these companies expect an annual data growth in its organization of more than 25%.
