Introduction

Transportation Analytics in a supply chain refers to the movement of products from one point to another. It starts at the beginning of the supply chain when supplies arrive at the warehouse and goes to the end-user when the customer’s order is delivered right to their door. Because of its importance, warehouse managers should investigate transportation in their supply chains. In the end, this is the only method to cut total expenses in a scenario where transportation can account for up to 60% of total operational costs or a significant amount of a company’s supply chain costs. Few activities in the supply chain have as much of an impact on business as transportation selection. Delivery techniques ensure that deliveries to and from the business go smoothly and reach their destinations on time. Because transportation is crucial to the company’s performance, it is critical to incorporate it into the supply chain management strategy. Transportation is regarded as one of the three essential components of supply chain management because of its importance.

Transportation analytics rapidly power mobility information and insights, altering transportation planning by making vital data collection and understanding more accessible, faster, cheaper, and safer. Cities, transit agencies, transportation departments, and other entities increasingly turn to transportation analytics to solve challenges, prioritize investments, and gain stakeholder support.

The transportation analytics market was worth USD 15.65 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow to USD 77.33 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 22.10 percent from 2022 to 2029. Because of its ability to simplify commercial and personal transportation, Predictive Analytics accounts for the most prominent type of segment in the corresponding industry.

Usage of Transportation Analytics

Big data is heavily used in supply chain management to evaluate operational hazards, improve communication, secure proprietary data, and improve supply chain accessibility. This data is used by industries in a variety of ways, including predictive analytics and the creation of more efficient cloud-based platforms.

Predictive Analytics

Data mining, statistics, and machine learning are used in predictive analytics to assess future supply demands, inventory, and customer behavior. Companies use predictive analytics and machine learning to forecast future physical hazards in the supply chain and financial, customer, and other operational risks.

Cloud-Based Platforms

Cloud technology will be critical in the future of transportation and supply chain management. It can help lower costs by reducing the influence of physical/geographic barriers, merging, and replacing various in-person processes, mitigating some of the consequences of market swings, and consolidating and replacing various in-person processes. Optimized data, on the other hand, is critical to the success of cloud-based platforms. Data must be effectively recorded, transmitted, and used to profit from cloud technology fully.

Cloud storage has its own set of security concerns. As more businesses and industries migrate to the cloud, fraudsters will find the technology increasingly appealing. In addition to the protections provided by cloud providers, businesses should always examine what security measures are needed. Larger companies also often use many cloud providers across their operations. Companies must have solid policies for preferred vendors, best practices, and the involvement of internal IT teams in this situation.

Role of Transportation Analytics Professionals

The growth of e-commerce has led to higher expectations on speed, agility, and visibility. Manufacturers, merchants, and consumers have pushed transportation and warehousing companies to develop quickly to meet ever-increasing service demands. Transportation management is evolving thanks to supply chain technology fueled by data and analytics—these practical tools aid businesses in being more educated, efficient, and long-lasting.

Monitoring

Technology has catapulted the business beyond simple track-and-trace data into a new world of supply chain visibility in just a few years. Customers can now not only follow their items as they travel, but they may also receive text or email notifications when delivery vehicles are stationary for an extended period. The same information can show whether delivery is within a mile of its destination, allowing receiving facility managers to plan and avoid surprises. This increased awareness has ramifications that go beyond on-time delivery. Companies will be able to carry less inventory due to this data because they can precisely pinpoint their products’ locations and when they are needed. Over time, this could result in significant cost reductions. Data is also allowing for more personalization and control in the transportation industry. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors in trailers now allow drivers and dispatchers to watch and report on temperature, humidity, movement, and other vital elements in real-time, allowing them to intervene before a problem arises.

 

Fleet Management Systems

The use of fleet management technologies is also helping to improve transportation efficiency. Vehicles communicate with systems regularly, getting information such as how long they have been on the road, where they are going, and which route would be the most efficient. These solutions cut down on idle time for drivers, improve fuel efficiency, increase safety, and cut down on paperwork. This continuous connectivity between trucks and warehouses or manufacturing facilities also allows for increased flexibility and real-time responses to unanticipated incidents. By increasing transparency in the transportation business, digital freight platforms enable enterprises to think beyond today’s shipment. Thanks to technology, shippers may see regional trends, individual lane cost information, and driver preferences, while carriers can get specifics like loading/unloading durations and lane history data. All this information can aid in lowering operating costs without compromising service.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication

Finally, data will play a part in one of the most intriguing breakthroughs in transportation: platooning, in conjunction with other technologies. Platooning is a method of transporting three or four trucks through the lengthy segments of the highways. The lead vehicle requires a driver, while the other tracks follow a digital tether a short distance apart. All vehicles respond with near-zero reaction time because the lead vehicle controls its speed, direction, and braking. When the platoon is within range of a destination, it pulls over to a designated parking lot, where each truck is greeted by a driver who will guide it to its delivery location. Because only one driver will be needed for every three or four trucks on the road, this application will save money on driver labor. It has the potential to improve traffic safety by reducing human error and accelerating reaction times. The technique also reduces vehicle distance, boosting the road network’s ability. Platooning is also good for the environment. Vehicles that travel at a constant, controlled speed emit less CO2 and consume less fuel. Tests have already shown that this technology can save a three-truck platoon up to 11% on gasoline expenditures.

Introduction

Inventory management helps the company to decide which and how many goods to order at a particular time. It is the process of purchasing, storing, and selling the stocks of a company. This means managing the process of inventory management from start to end, such as storing raw materials as well as finished goods, keeping them in a warehouse, and finally processing finished goods. It tracks inventory right from purchase to the sale of goods.

In short, it means having the right number of stocks, at the right place and at the right time.

A company’s inventory is the most valuable asset. In retail, manufacturing, industries, and other inventory-intensive sectors, a company’s raw materials, and its finished products are the core of its business. Inventory can also be viewed as a liability due to the possibility of spoilage, theft, damage, or changes in demand. It must be insured, and if it isn’t sold, it must be cleared at a discount.

The Objectives of Inventory management

To gain a better understanding of inventory management it is important that we understand what are the objectives which it seeks to achieve first. Given below are the key objectives of effective inventory management.

Objectives of Inventory Management

Objectives of Inventory Management

-Material availability: The main goal here is to ensure that all types of items are accessible whenever the production department needs them so that production is not hampered due to their unavailability.

-Improved customer service: Having the finished product available at all points of time so that even varying demands of the customers are met satisfactorily goes a long way in ensuring great customer service.

-Avoid waste: When there is no inventory management system in place, it is common for items to be wasted. In addition, theft can also be a major preventable complaint.

-Maintaining sufficient stock levels: Effective inventory management ensures that stocks are available at all points of time to the production department as well as the fact that retailers do not run out of stocks thereby ensuring efficient delivery.

-Cost-effectiveness: Cutting down on costs in terms of inventory hoarding ensures cost-effectiveness for the company.

-Cost value of inventories reduce: Regularly purchasing the stocks in bulk, can help in negotiations and getting discounts on the inventories.

-Optimizing product sales: It helps to determine the volume of the product sales. It helps in understanding the present condition as well as future consumption of the goods.

The Types of Inventories

Inventory has different classifications under different stages of the supply chain. Typically, there are four types:

-Raw materials: This refers to the raw materials which are then turned into finished goods. There are two types of raw materials:
    -Direct materials: These are used directly in finished goods, such as leather used in making belts.
    -Indirect materials: These are part of the overhead or factory costs, such as glue, tape, and oil, which can be considered indirect materials for the factory.

-Work-In-Process: The inventory that is being used by businesses to create the final goods, whether its direct or indirect inventory, is called Work-In-Process (WIP). For example, the packaging of a finished good is WIP.

-Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO): Inventory is what is needed to assemble and sell a finished product but is not built into the product itself. For example, basic office supplies such as paper, pens, and so on.

-Finished goods: This refers to the finished goods that are available for purchase by customers. This category includes any product that is ready to sell.

The Techniques of Inventory Management

Inventory management techniques can be used to control inventories regardless of the size of the business:

Techniques of Inventory Management

Techniques of Inventory Management

-Bulk Shipments: This method states that the goods are cheaper when they are bought in bulk. This is done when there are high consumer demands. This technique has the downside of keeping the bulk shipments in the warehouse, which results in higher costs overall. On the other hand, it reduces the shipping cost and it works well with the staple goods having long shelf lives.

-Backordering: It refers to the decision of taking orders and receiving the payments in advance for out-of-stock products. It’s a desire for most businesses but can be a logistical nightmare for the ones who are not prepared. Enabling backorders, increases sales and it’s just like a juggling act.

-Just in Time: Under this arrangement, finished goods are made available at just the right time. This means that the supplies of raw materials arrive as soon as the finished goods are ready to be shipped. This technique thereby helps businesses meet consumer demand without overfilling inventory and incurring any holding costs

-ABC Analysis: This is a technique based on putting the goods into different criteria in order of high importance, i.e. A being the most valuable and C being the least. Not all products are equal in value, and more emphasis should be placed on more valuable products. It improves time management and resource allocation.

-Drop shipping and cross-docking: This method completely removes the cost of maintaining inventories. When you have a drop shipping arrangement, you can transfer the client orders and shipping details to the wholesaler or manufacturer, who then ships the product.

Introduction

The practice of employing quantitative methodologies to obtain actionable insights and outcomes from data is known as procurement analytics. It entails gathering and analyzing data to enable fact-based decision-making and competitive advantage. It usually reports on what has happened in the past and makes estimations based on historical data using predictive analytics to predict what will happen in the future.

Procurement analytics uses quantitative methodologies to obtain meaningful insights and outcomes from data to provide companies and firms with better visualization of their procurement budget. Predictive analytics software gathers data from internal and external sources and organizes it in procurement dashboards. They enable businesses and organizations to use procurement data to make informed decisions and obtain strategic, competitive benefits.

Procurement analytics is critical for enhancing the efficiency of a company’s overall business operations and providing helpful market knowledge to aid strategic business choices. Without it, organizations often miss cost-cutting opportunities, do not meet KPIs, encounter supply chain disruptions, and pay higher costs.

Importance of Procurement Analytics

Analytics is often recognized as one of procurement’s most valuable resources and disruptive forces. Most Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) consider analytics the most crucial technology in their organizations.

Procurement Analytics Importance

Importance of Procurement Analytics

Over the next decade, analytics has also been identified as the most disruptive force in procurement. It is a prevalent misperception that procurement analytics is limited to spend analytics. In truth, analytics affects all aspects of a company’s operations, from strategic sourcing to category management and procure-to-pay. Here are the reasons why analytics are so vital in procurement.

Category Management

When applied correctly, analytics provide category managers with superpowers. Category managers can use procurement analytics to find cost-cutting possibilities, segment and prioritize suppliers, address supply risk, and foster innovation.

Strategic Sourcing

Data informs the most effective company strategy. Analytics aids strategic sourcing by finding the ideal dates and locations for sourcing events and proposal requests. It can decide which suppliers to include in sourcing projects and provide detailed information on their quality and risk levels.

Contract Management

Analytics is beneficial throughout the contract lifecycle management process. It can send notifications when contracts need to be renegotiated and provide information for supplier discussions. Furthermore, analytics can find maverick spending to increase contract coverage and compliance.

Procure-to-Pay

The transactional part of procurement can benefit significantly from procurement analytics. Purchase order cycles may be tracked, and analytics can enhance payment terms. Payment accuracy, rebate opportunities, and mistaken payments can be checked while eliminating fraud.

Sustainability and CSR

Companies increasingly recognize the benefits of analytics in assessing sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and associated risk in the supply chain and procurement. Procurement decisions can have an environmental or social impact, and analytics can reveal opportunities for more sustainable options.

Steps of Procurement Analytics

During the projected period, the procurement analytics market is expected to increase from USD 2.6 billion in 2021 to USD 8.0 billion in 2026, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 25.3 percent.

Procurement Analytics Process

Procurement Analytics Process

The use of procurement analytics technologies and services is projected to be driven by several factors, including increased expenditure on marketing and advertising by businesses, a changing landscape of consumer intelligence to drive the market, and the expansion of customer channels.

Procurement analytics provides insight into spending, supplier performance, and prospects for cost savings. However, even if spending data is already stored in systems, making sense of it is typically tricky. Before insights can be discovered, three data processing procedures are needed.

Data Extraction

It begins with data extraction from all sources and consolidation into a single central database. Data is ready to be enriched and sanitized once it has been extracted. Data extraction is converting obsolete and jumbled data sources into a clear, unified format that is easy to understand and analyze.

Data Cleansing and Categorization

The data must then be classified into distinct and well-defined groups. A precise data classification is needed for practical expenditure analysis, making the heterogeneous spend data easier to oversee and manage across the company. This procedure unifies all purchase transactions into a single taxonomy, allowing customers to see their total spending in one place. This step can also enrich data by using automatic translations or consolidating suppliers.

Reporting and Analytics

The data is now ready to be analyzed after it has been categorized. Expenditure analysis gives the spend visibility that helps deliver intelligent analysis for faster opportunity identification, better sourcing decisions, and complete spending management. Access to dependable spend analytics is essential for significant cost savings and the realization of potential opportunities.

Advanced Procurement Analytics

Advanced analytics approaches employ computers to find patterns in large data sets, allowing procurement analysts to query their data, find statistically significant pricing drivers, and cluster the data based on those drivers. The clusters show a group of purchases with no notable cost driver changes, revealing the variances in vendor performance. One significant advantage is that, unlike individuals, advanced analytics algorithms do not make conclusions based on gut instinct or place disproportionate emphasis on data outliers. The tools also make it possible to evaluate thousands of permutations fast to see which statistical clusters best suit the data.

Negotiation

Preparing a fact base with information on prior transactions is the first step in effective negotiations. By inputting a description of the prospective transaction, advanced analytics allows the manufacturer to find a cluster of providers at once. The average price of similar purchases is highlighted in a summary of cluster data and a list of accessible vendors and their prices. The manufacturer can come to the bargaining table with prices based on historical data and information on vendors who work in this market armed with a solid, quantitative fact basis.

Vendor Management

Vendor segmentation and management are all about building relationships. As a result, it is more susceptible to the various biases that affect human interaction. While the personal element of the relationship should be respected, decisions about vendor performance should be based on facts rather than emotions. Advanced analytics can help reduce biases from the evaluation because it is especially beneficial in isolating vendor performance within a cluster.

Yearly Planning

Advanced analytics can be handy in assessing purchasing data to support a comprehensive sourcing strategy. Inventory-carrying decisions can also be influenced by modeling. Based on the data, the procurement team may decide whether to pay the carrying cost for more inventory or pay a premium for spot purchases.

Magistral’s Services on Procurement Analytics

Procurement is recognized as a crucial business contributor by many firms. Procurement expenses account for 40 to 70 percent of all costs and are a variable source of competitive advantage. Effective organizations use data to manage supplier relationships, grow their businesses, and even bring innovative ideas to life. In the last two years, more data has been created than in humankind’s history, posing unfamiliar problems for procurement analytics. Developing analytical technologies speeds up the data-to-insights process and opens new possibilities. Procurement analytics can boost operational efficiency throughout the sourcing and supplier management process. The following are the most common services offered by Magistral for procurement analytics:

-Spend Analytics

-Low-Cost Country Sourcing
