Digital transformation in Domestic Distribution

Domestic Distribution Challenges
• Raising fuel rates and impact on economy forced to maximize the optimal
utilization of vehicles & transporters.
• Digital transformation of Govt. services leads to leveraging the technology
and replacing the old fashion logistics methods/process
• Supply chain visibility and lack of effective coordination
• Documents Auditing and paper works.
• Delivery Delays and customer dissatisfactions
• Excessively reliant on phone calls and Excel sheets leads to Data entry errors
in creation of L&R, invoices etc.
• Invoices and payment disputes.
• Post GST distribution Challenges- Cost cutting at factory and
transportation, re-examine the supply chain network.
• Transport Demand Supply Gap - boom in E-com, same day-next day
deliveries, optimized usage of LSPs and vehicles.
• Acknowledgement of Cost- Company needs to wait the transporter to
submit invoices to analyze the cost
• Different data format for different transporters
• Lack of unified information channel- The level of IT maturity is
different for each transporters.
