In light of the ongoing pandemic, escalating fuel expenses, and surging commodity prices, businesses are compelled to reassess their supply chain operations through a fresh perspective. The conventional view of logistics merely as a cost center has evolved into recognizing it as a strategic enabler. The current landscape emphasizes self-sufficiency, prompting a shift towards local sourcing, production, and distribution models. Moreover, organizations are increasingly embracing the sharing economy while integrating sustainability considerations into their supply chain strategies, leading to the emergence of circular supply chains.
The delineation of traditional business sectors is becoming increasingly blurred. Courier, express, and parcel (CEP) firms are transitioning into third-party logistics providers (3PLs) for e-commerce entities. Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are directing their efforts towards direct-to-consumer (D2C) deliveries. Retailers are diversifying their offerings with private label brands, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) enterprises are acquiring dairy companies. Post-pandemic, there has been a notable surge in the consumption of nutritional and health-oriented products, prompting convergence between FMCG and pharmaceutical firms within the nutraceutical segment.
Confronted with such dynamic disruptions, traditional supply chain models prove inadequate. The key to success lies in agile and adaptable supply chain strategies. Organizations require logistics planning solutions empowered by deep tech capabilities, facilitating rapid innovation and intricate scenario modeling. At Mojro, we provide comprehensive logistics planning and optimization solutions leveraging cutting-edge technologies. Our algorithms deliver substantially heightened optimization levels through multi-dimensional route optimization.
Over the past few years, we have tailored our planning algorithms to cater to specific industry requirements. Our clientele spans across CPG, dairy, CEP, and e-commerce sectors, each benefiting from our industry-tailored logistics planning capabilities:
- Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG): Characterized by a vast array of SKUs across various product categories and intricate distribution networks, our multi-leg planning streamlines cross-leg transportation planning, reducing inventory overheads. We offer an advanced recommendation engine (Fill rate optimization) to enhance vehicle utilization by analyzing historical demand and fulfillment data to suggest additional SKUs for optimal weight/volume utilization.
- Dairy: With a smaller SKU count but a complex procurement network, our advanced compartment planning capabilities facilitate tanker planning, ensuring segregation of different milk types and qualities during transportation. Our algorithms optimize milk movement from chillers to plants, considering milk availability and processing capacity, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
- Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP): Operating within a logistics-intensive environment with a network of hubs, depots, and stations, our territory management capability enables effective definition of operating zones, aiding in decision-making regarding pickup/delivery responsibilities based on customer locations. We employ advanced Delta planning algorithms for first-mile pickup optimization, identifying additional pickup loads for in-transit vehicles while adhering to service level agreements (SLAs).
- E-commerce: Striking a balance between delivery speed and logistics costs is paramount at scale. Our real-time geocoding during the planning process ensures accurate address resolution, significantly reducing address discovery time. Additionally, our algorithms uphold time window constraints to honor slot commitments to customers.
It's essential to acknowledge the significant variations in supply chains across these verticals. Mojro's multi-tenant platform offers a comprehensive solution, equipped with an in-built constraint modeler, to adeptly model and address these diversities.
