Need an ideal solution to manage your transportation and logistics? Microsoft Dynamics is just for you. This software showers tremendous benefits like routing, vehicle tracking, temperature tracking, and warehousing within a unified platform. You can identify vendors and routings to cover inbound and outbound orders or get the cheapest shipping rates.
Cutting Transportation costs holds the top position as far as the logistics industry is concerned, other pain points do not add any less to the challenges. Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers solutions to bust pain points such as:
- Fuel Costs: When it comes to cost-cutting, fuel cost is the major concern of all time. Increased fuel rates add up to higher transportation costs and escalate surcharges, resulting in hiked freight rates and other included charges.
- Economic Crisis: Hyped fuel prices bring greater credit issues and raise inflationary demands that take a greater toll on an economy. The industry is mounted by complying with regulations, additional capacity, and declining demands with the increase in key cost centers.
- Technological Issues: Even though this industry recognizes the need for advanced technology, business owners fail to find the right solution to manage their transportation and logistics. Most of them either work in silos or adopt multiple software, which might even complicate their operations.
