Application Areas
Congestion Mitigation around Ports, Terminals & Industrial Areas Regional Transit Corridors & Border Crossings Trade Information Management
Challenges
Poor physical Infrastructure, long transit times & frequent road accidents
Consequences
Limited intermodal systems & capabilities Poor road network & inland logistic infrastructure: reduced road capacity, unreliable deliveries, increased cost Congestion around ports, cities, industrial zones & border
Ageing truck fleet and broken rail cars Added expenses to reposition assets (e.g. ) Insufficient truck control & uncoordinated gating/pickup Wasted fuel & high-carbon environmental pollution Inability to manage performance of assets & personnel No data to guide policy & strategic decisions Poor planning & investment from lack of data/metrics
Challenges
Poor visibility into cargoes & transportation assets High instance of physical Inspection
Consequences
Poor coordination between transport providers & terminals/depots Delays through physical inspection by Customs stifles trade Pilferage/diversion adds to cargo costs & reduces service-level to customer Poor chain-of-custody & asset tracking mechanisms
Lack of standards & regulations; Noncompliance with government & industry regulations
Non-compliance with government & industry regulations results in process delays & added fees. Lack of safety enforcement & certification for vehicle and operators Delays in clearance processes & corruption Too many checkpoints along transit routes
Poor road & rail network... Poor state where exist Low adoption of inland container depots (ICD) Uncoordinated movement of transport assets Transport service providers are not well organized
Limited risk screening, valuation & reporting ability Increased dwell-time, hampers trade facilitation & adversely impacts supply chain security Poor cargo & asset transit monitoring

Compelling Results
Enables single, consistent data usage and validation
Improves visibility & reduces discretion Reduces clearance times by 50% or more Facilitates real-time collaboration between agencies on admissibility decisions Motivates performance improvements in both the public and private sector With improved physical infrastructure, process issues become the bottleneck
