Cloud Computing Applications in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
As a data-driven industry, logistics can greatly benefit from the use of cloud computing. Supply chain managers use cloud technology in these aspects of business:
Real-Time Supply Chain Monitoring
Cloud solutions can empower you to track every aspect of the supply chain in real time. With cloud technology, supply chain managers can locate a product at any point in its lifecycle. Depending on how you set productivity benchmarks, you can also check your team’s current performance.
Performance Management
Supply chain systems that use cloud technology collect data across locations for better performance management. You can monitor trends over time to understand your team’s productivity levels. This data can also inform quality improvement strategies for your company.
Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT devices in supply chain management use cloud technology to connect the physical and virtual worlds. RFID tags, sensors, antennas and Wi-Fi-enabled labels can help you track individual items in real time. When you combine cloud and IoT technology, you can manage your supply chain more comprehensively.
Business Continuity
Backups and redundancies in cloud computing enable you to quickly recover from data failure. By keeping a copy of your information on the cloud, you can rest assured that you have easy access to it in case of an emergency. As a result, cloud backups offer peace of mind and increased uptime after data loss.
IT Cost Management
Managed cloud services help you manage your IT costs and infrastructure spending. All-in-one cloud providers like Netrepid provide servers and maintenance so you can focus on other aspects of business. The scalability of cloud computing lets you only pay for the services you need.
