SEI and Wakeo join forces to optimise costs, stocks and reduce companies' carbon footprint
Supply chain software publisher SEI and multimodal transport visibility leader Wakeo have signed a partnership agreement to offer a real-time traceability solution for intercontinental flows of goods.
The current environment is having a direct impact on the transport market, which has seen its costs multiply by five. Added to this are the disruptions to the transport chain, leading to delays and multiple consequences for the supply chain on a daily basis. Companies urgently need to find solutions. Knowing and analysing logistics information flows in real time is one of them.
The Wakeo platform has been designed to automate the tracking of shipments , by analysing transport plans, bill of loading and legal information. This meticulous collection of data from the field, enriched with external data (geolocation, etc.), enables Wakeo's algorithm to accurately estimate ETAs and calculate delays based on real-time traffic.
Transport and Supply Chain : a shared value proposition
SEI and Wakeo are complementary players in the supply chain and innovation market. Transport is a key link in the supply chain., By proposing a global offer, SEI and Wakeo provide customers access to quantifiable and measurable data throughout the Supply chain. ETAs for shipments are now directly integrated into SEI's Nodhos TMS, complementing the tracking of purchase orders.
An exponential need for visibility in the retail sector
Retailers increasingly need real-time visibility, both in terms of production and stock management. The head office is responsible for distribution to shops and e-commerce customers, and reliable data is vital for the rest of the supply chain. The goods must be sent to the right shop within the right time. The Nodhos solution indicates product availability in stock, while the Wakeo platform provides visibility of transport data in real time, via its algorithm. With this global vision, SEI is implementing predictive supply chain management.
