Kargo Demand Planning, the latest technology from Kargo Technologies, offers innovative solutions for businesses in Indonesia by optimizing logistics operations and creating a sustainable supply chain. By leveraging machine learning and predictive analysis, Kargo Demand Planning helps shippers and transporters deal with demand volatility, reduce costs and increase profit margins.
Traditional Approach vs. Machine Learning Approach in Supply Chain
Traditionally, businesses in Indonesia have relied on passive prediction methods, such as historical sales data, to forecast demand. However, this approach often fails to account for uncertainties and is unable to model various scenarios, such as changes in market trends. Kargo Demand Planning utilizes machine learning algorithms that are trained with Kargo data that have operated for 4 years in first, mid, to last mile shipments. In addition, this machine also incorporates external data as learning material such as market trends, gas prices, seasonality of transporter (transporter) capacity, variations in types of shipments for international trade (export-import), and various public data sources in Indonesia.
Benefits for Shipper and Transporter
By implementing Kargo Demand Planning, it provides many benefits for both shippers and transporters. Specifically, shippers are able to gain insight into high-demand delivery periods and locations which allows for more efficient delivery planning. Not only that, through the transporter profiling feature, users can also see the performance for each transporter to help determine a more cost-effective transporter with superior performance.
On the one hand, transporters are also able to derive several benefits from this technology, such as route optimization based on the predicted number of shipments for a given route, which leads to increased efficiency. By knowing the seasonal predictions of shipping and analyzing existing routes, it can help transporters to set more optimal prices based on busy and quiet shipping seasons. Not only that, transporters can also manage truck utilization better with the fulfillment rate analysis feature.
In general, both shippers and transporters can drive supply chain efficiency to ensure the continuity of customer fulfillment & satisfaction levels as experienced by the Kargo team itself.
"Inconsistent market supply means Kargo team works tirelessly to maintain high fulfillment rate & customer satisfaction. By using demand planning solutions, we now have 100% visibility of suitable carriers per route. This instantly saves thousands hours previously spent matching supply and demand!"
