Real-time visibility: the key to success

In the world of transport, the traceability of loads is extremely valuable. When a load can be properly tracked, it leads to more transparency as well as efficiency in the logistics chain. For example, the consignee can ensure that his people are available at the right time to unload the cargo. However, the application of Real Time Visibility (RTV) can still be challenging. Nevertheless, at GEBA Trans we are making positive progress in this field.

What is Real Time Visibility?

Real Time Visibility means that shipments and transports can be tracked at any time and any location. This traceability is made possible by technologies such as GPS, telematics in trucks and trailers, and advanced track-and-trace systems. Algorithms are used to calculate the expected time of arrival, taking into account roadworks and current traffic jams, among other factors.

Benefits of Real Time Visibility

RTV significantly reduces operational costs and increases efficiency. In fact, studies by Transporeon, one of the RTV providers, show that using RTV leads to:

  • 30% fewer control calls
  • 10% shorter truck transit times
  • 10% less waiting time
  • 5% cost savings

Increased customer satisfaction and service

Through RTV, we know when your shipment will arrive, leading to better planning and higher customer satisfaction. The shipper/receiver can ensure that staff are available at the right time to load/unload the cargo.

Competitive advantage

When using RTV, we can react faster and more accurately to changes and disruptions while transporting your goods. By ensuring continuous monitoring and accurate data, we proactively manage disruptions.

RTV implementation

Implementing RTV requires modern technologies such as GPS and telematics, as well as a robust IT infrastructure to process and analyse the collected data.

Challenges:
  1. Many independent carriers do not always have the technological know-how to enable RTV.
  2. Many trucks and trailers are not yet equipped with telematics, and purchasing them can be costly.
  3. Some carriers are hesitant to share real-time data because of privacy and security concerns.
  4. There are many different RTV apps, which can be confusing for drivers.

We take the privacy of our partners seriously. We make sure all data is well protected and comply with privacy laws to ensure the security of customer information.
