Every year, customers worldwide receive billions of packages that pass through various stages of the supply chain. At every supply chain touch point, from a customer initiating an order to the final delivery of that order, large quantities of data are collected: customer information, GPS data, the number and types of items, carrier data, delivery information, etc. Although logistic data not the most famous part in the industry, but actually, logistics data can be fed back up the supply chain to help inform decisions at the top of the supply chain and make the maximize interests available to merchants.
l Generally, sources for logistic data are:
l ERP systems
l Order management systems
l Material management systems
l Route optimization systems
Due to the fact that such systems grow quickly in terms of data volume, it is important to build a platform to analysis them during the shipping.
