GES benefits from latest digital technology

DUBAI, February 22, 2017

Globe Express Services (GES) has deployed CargoWise One, an integrated and comprehensive supply chain logistics management solution by WiseTech Global, across its 57 offices worldwide.

CargoWise One has many interesting features including:
- Company’s operating costs optimisation;
- Achieving functional excellence in Enterprise Logistics Management;
- Supply Chain integration and collaboration;
- Increasing its market share and power.

The shift into digital systems has fuelled GES’ growth by extending its capabilities to deliver personalised and customer-focused logistics solutions on top of its cost optimization benefits.

The logistics sector in UAE has played a vital role in sustaining the country’s economic growth by contributing 14 per cent to its profit in 2015, i.e. $29.8 billion in favour of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).

In a recent survey, it has been shown that the digital transformation of supply chain was either ‘important or very important’ to 75 per cent of the respondents. Nearly 94 per cent believe that in the next five years, companies will be able to receive more real-time data and updates across the entire supply chain. Based on these optimistic points of view, the logistics sector will enter a new era over the next decade where the forces of technology and operational constraints will fundamentally change the rules of the game, the company said.

Mustapha Kawam, president and CEO of Globe Express Services, said: “Companies are striving to go beyond the minimum service specifications by having a competitive edge over others with the increase of competition and complexity within the logistics sector. Having said that, the implementation of such advanced technologies becomes very essential to the business as it increases the visibility and improves accountability. The latter will assist the businesses in innovating and restructuring their supply chain for achieving optimised levels of production. In the supply chain management where cross-company processes, collaborations, and data sharing are vital, a cloud-based technology becomes a major value driver.”  

The rising movement of social media, mobile communication, online analytics, and cloud computing services have stimulated businesses to adopt advanced digital supply networks. The supply chain’s system visibility now provides real-time awareness for the various business processes. Through data analytics, raw information is transformed into actionable insights while the cloud provides universal accessibility. Logistics professionals are expecting to see a huge positive impact on their revenues and savings in few years from now, it said. – TradeArabia News Service
