Logistics management is the part of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the place of origin to the place of consumption in order to meet customer requirements.
Good logistics management ensures that products are transported in the most economical, safe, efficient and timely manner. In contrast, poor logistics management can lead to damaged or delayed goods, which can lead to customer dissatisfaction, returns and product obsolescence.
Main Logistics Management Challenges are as follow:
That's the biggest challenge for the industry, because transportation is a big part of it. With fuel prices rising, that percentage could be even higher. To better optimize shipping costs, managers need to have a clear understanding of future orders. eTower can provide suppliers with multiple channels to map the best routes and achieve the best pricing standards for package delivery.
There is a problem of low professional personnel in logistics management. Some personnel working in logistics management have no practical experience and lack the corresponding knowledge base of logistics management, which makes the development of logistics management is not good.

Due to the lack of awareness of information construction, the logistics management has not fully applied the automatic technology and facilities of office information, and the innovation of information technology has not been obtained in the logistics management link.
The enterprise logistics management information erp system is an important part of the enterprise logistics work, in order to improve the efficiency of the logistics transport link, should be updated information system, combined with the development characteristics of the current era, improve the information system and related facilities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought health and safety to the forefront of workers' concerns. The surge in late 2021 and early 2022 has left most personnel in isolation. The problem left their other colleagues overworked and woefully understaffed to handle the influx of goods.
In view of such a situation, on the one hand, we need to make personnel learn through professional training and other ways to improve their technical ability. On the other hand, you can also choose the right logistics software. eTower makes API connection, data connection and information link sharing with various parcel delivery system ERP transaction assistants, which greatly reduces labor costs.
During the pandemic, consumers' buying habits have shifted to online shopping. These new preferences have raised high expectations. Customers always want to know where their products are and when they will arrive. As customer expectations rise, the logistics industry needs to continuously reduce transportation costs to improve their competitive edge.
eTower connects with the cross-border e-commerce platform and EPR system to track and monitor the package path and update the package information in real time.
Carriers face significant compliance regulations imposed by federal, state, and local authorities. In addition to the federal law, environmental issues such as anti-idling and other emissions reduction regulations enacted by state and local governments have raised concerns that the costs of compliance may outweigh their benefits.
Therefore, timely understanding of these changes and taking pre-emptive measures to fend off challenges is the hallmark of successful logistics management.
