Control over your shipment in the future
What is the ETA of my shipment? Are all the forms in order? How many pallets do we have in stock? As a customer of the BF Global Group, you have many questions and preferably one answer: insight. To provide this insight to our customers as effectively as possible, we are working on a central portal for all of BF Global.
The goal of this project is to centrally manage and visualise all data streams of customers and their shipments. But this is also an important step for our internal organisation, providing insights into financial data and internal operational KPIs – such as shipped and delivered orders, timely PODs, space utilisation, etc. So we will have one portal for all data from the various BF systems (OMS, FMS, WMS and TMS). All the information a customer could wish for in one overview, from departure time to invoicing, regardless of whether they are using one or all services from BF Global.
That sounds logical, but our world is vast and diverse, especially when it comes to data streams. Various forms, internal data, external data and different languages make it challenging to gain insights and make everything communicate with each other. We have been working for a while to inventory all the challenges and possibilities and come up with solutions that work for us and our customers. To this end, several employees are collaborating with various external parties.
We will keep you updated on the progress from now on, as it is an important development for both the customers and the employees of the BF Global Group.
