Vancouver, Canada —
Earlier this year, North America identified the transportation sector as the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. With recent increasing political, social and regulatory pressure to reduce waste and environmental impact, Greener Supply His Chain practices are gaining traction.
The Paris Agreement in August of this year prompted companies across all industries to scrutinize their supply chains and logistics to implement greener practices. Supply chains are becoming more transparent and accountable for their environmental impacts and actions, driven by consumer expectations and government policies.
Warehousing and transportation management software provider CartonCloud is helping small and medium-sized logistics companies take a step towards greener practices by introducing small changes towards operational efficiency.
Large companies may consider a major overhaul of their operations to reduce emissions across their global networks, but for small businesses that are part of a larger supply chain, reducing their environmental impact may be an option. is slightly different.
CartonCloud CEO and Founder Vincent Fletcher said:
“Of course, reducing the use of fossil fuels is a big challenge, and for small businesses that cannot convert their fleets to electric vehicles, having the ability to optimize routes for drivers using navigation maps built into the TMS is essential. is a very important advantage.
“Using a cloud-based system like CartonCloud allows us to optimize routes, increase accuracy, and simplify a variety of other workflows to use fewer resources and be more efficient.
“For example, our mobile app can be used on any iOS or Android smartphone and paired with a Bluetooth scanner to bring barcode scanning to your business. We can do it, and there are fewer mistakes, and fewer orders that the company has to return or repeat at a loss.”
Fletcher said the company’s powerful software was designed specifically for small businesses, giving them the tools they need to start optimizing their operations immediately.
This intuitive software gives customers access from desktops, tablets and smartphones, allowing them to optimize their operations across all areas through one easy-to-use system.
“For businesses looking to reduce waste, whether for profit or for the environment, our software makes it easy. We can identify inventory in our warehouse, pick and pack, identify orders and assign them to shipments,” says Fletcher.
“There is also a great deal of interest in optimizing last mile deliveries through mobile app capabilities that simplify cross-docking operations and provide accuracy along with speed and simplicity.”
As an integrated warehouse and transportation management system, the software provides seamless data flow between operations, giving 3PLs a unique level of control and flexibility to track and automate data.
“What that means is that these companies can control how they operate, find ways to streamline operations, save money and resources, and reduce wasted miles, fuel, or packages along the way. about it.
“From picking orders in warehouses to optimizing driver routes based on preferred departure locations, fastest routes, transportation zones, or other factors, companies can control how they streamline their tier-specific business operations. is very important for companies to build long-term, sustainable practices.”
Fletcher said CartonCloud’s team ensures that they work closely with their customers and industry partners, while leveraging their own team’s expertise to make their software design, use, and functionality easy to use for logistics operators. I said I guarantee it’s intuitive.
“We are also logisticians, and that experience and passion set us apart.
“I originally wrote the initial code for CartonCloud from the back room of a 3PL I was running with a business partner. We currently have around 500 customers worldwide and that number continues to grow.
“When customers tell us that they no longer lose boxes, that their picking accuracy has improved and their picking/packing windows have decreased, or that they have implemented cross-docking for faster last-mile deliveries. , it means a lot to us. And more than that, it’s all thanks to our software.”
