Introduction to Cloud-Based
Logistics
Learning Objectives:

• To define Cloud-Based Logistics

• To know what does Cloud Based Logistics do
• To determine the benefits of using cloud-based logistics
• To know how Cloud Computing is related to cloud based logistics
• To determine the different types of cloud-based logistics
• To know the importance of the cloud in logistics
What is Cloud Based Logistics?

CBL is also known to other sources as Cloud Logistics

Software - is defined a type of computer program hosted on
the cloud that helps companies including shippers, vendors,
carriers, 3PLs, and freight forwarders manage their daily tasks
and operations.
What does Cloud Based Logistics do?

Features of cloud logistics software will vary from vendor to

vendor and across the various sub-types in the category, but
typically will include functionality to help businesses manage
their inventory, track their shipments, and plan their
shipments.
What are the benefits of using cloud-based
logistics?

a. Easier updates
b. Reduced costs
c. Improved customer service
d. Increased flexibility
e. Enhanced security
Cloud Computing in relation to cloud based
logistics
Cloud computing refers to various internet-based services
such as data storage, databases, servers, and networking. It
is a software architecture that stores data on remote servers
and is available through the internet 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Cloud computing benefits your cloud logistics
system because your system relies on cloud computing to get
its work done
What are the different types of cloud-based
logistics?

a. Public Cloud
b. Private Cloud
c. Hybrid Cloud
d. Multicloud
What is the importance of the cloud in
logistics?

Cloud computing has helped logistics companies increase

efficiency, improve customer service, and reduce costs by
automating key processes and providing visibility into the
supply chain. As the supply chain evolves, cloud computing
will become more critical to the logistics industry
Cloud Dashboards
Learning Objectives:
• To define cloud dashboard?
• To determine the metrics influencing deliveries
• To identify the two major questions on Data Evaluation Methods
• To identify the Data Evaluation Methods
• To determine the dashboards for different levels of Supply Chain Management
• To give the BI Tools in building different data dashboards
• To know the things to consider before implementing data visualization technologies in an organization
• To give the insights on the future of logistics dashboards
• To determine Importance of dashboards in modern supply chain
• To determine the types of Logistics Dashboards
What is Cloud Dashboard?

A cloud dashboard is a dashboard that you can build and

access on a web browser. It has key advantages over on-
premise software such as being easier to deploy, requiring
little to no IT support and is accessible on multiple devices.
Metrics influencing deliveries:

a. Warehouse operator’s performance

b. Average order fulfillment time
c. Drivers’ performance
d. Vehicle idling time
Two major questions on Data Evaluation
Methods

a. What data is valuable enough to visualize and analyze?

b. What data can you discard?
Data Evaluation Methods

Method 1: Business Value of Information (BVI)

Method 1: Performance Value of Information (FVI)
Dashboards for different levels of Supply Chain
Management

Level 1: Strategic
Level 2: Tactical
Level 3: Operational
BI Tools in building different data dashboards

a. Tableau
b. Power BI
c. Qlik Sense
d. Amazon QuickSight
e. ThoughtSpot
Things to consider before implementing data
visualization technologies in your organization

a. Robust Data Fabric

b. BI Implementation
c. Training on Data Literacy
Insights on the future of logistics dashboards
a. Building dashboards will become a common practice, but
only for specific requests, without propagating redundant
dashboards that only confuse rather than inform.
b. In the nearest future, the lines between business
intelligence and advanced analytics will be almost
completely blurred, mostly thanks to the integration of
AI/ML capabilities in BI reports and dashboard generation.
c. Big data analytics will go hand in hand with BI dashboards
to provide even more business insights and open new
horizons of supply chain visibility.
Importance of Dashboards in Modern Supply
Chain

Logistic dashboards are a way for companies to track their

supply chain management and logistics. They allow
companies to see how well they are doing in meeting their
goals in terms of efficiency, costs, and customer service.

Logistic dashboards can be used to track the efficiency of a

company’s supply chain management. This is done by using
KPIs such as lead time, inventory turn rate, and order fill rate.
Types of Logistics Dashboards

a. Transportation Dashboards
b. Warehouse KPI Dashboards
c. Pick and Pack Scorecards
Takeaways:

Logistic dashboards are an essential tool for any company

that wants to improve its supply chain management. They
provide a centralized view of the entire process and can help
you with many different things, such as planning, forecasting,
tracking, and reporting. It is necessary to have a logistics
dashboard in place so that the company can get the most out
of its supply chain management.
