Pilferage, loss of assets and inactive customers become difficult to track, for
example and traditional ERP’s are not usually well -quipped to monitor field
operations. A seamlessly integrated fool proof system updating inventory po-
sitions in the field, field force statuses, payment collections, credit extensions
and asset monitoring at the exact field location is therefore critical to any field
operation, according to Javed.
“In order to address these diverse sets of challenges, Mile is designed to cover
pre-orders, van sales or on-demand field requirements,” she explains. “Mile
not only offers complete control over what happens in the field but also offers
predictive analysis, load planning and route optimization, keeping businesses
a step ahead of the competition.”
One of the fastest growing sectors in the UAE is the last mile and companies
are becoming more aware of the fact that telematics and other vehicle based
technologies are not enough to control the field operations alone. “Logistic
teams are keenly evaluating more integrated and mature solutions to control
every aspect of field operations. Field Force Management complimented by
Fleet & Vehicle Management technologies are working together as integrated
platforms facilitating businesses overcome the logistics and field force opera-
tional challenges,” says Javed.
