• Minimizing the risk of stealing or loss of shipments.
• Reducing the fleet cost due to driving speed.
• Instant assigning the vehicle.

Eg: LogixGRID offers GPS services which allow to grouping various types of vehicle separately and helps to sthe job tracke the nearby vehicle which covers closest distance and other such aspects. With this proper schedules can be made and transportation will be done on-time, leads to maintain business reputation among customers, also tracks and maintains every record which helps for future reference.

With GPS vehicle tracking system they can save huge money on fleet’s operating costs, replace erratic drivers and also they can reduce their overhead cost by eliminating under-utilized vehicle etc.

LogixGRID has integrated with Map My India to offer substantial features to the transport industry and vehicle owners. Now while tracking a shipment in LogixERP logistics companies can track the vehicle too and specifically can determine a shipment exist in which respective vehicle. LogixERP is able to generate report with most transparent data and ensure a real time delivery or movement of shipments.

IT solution is the main focus where businesses must have significant updates on its process. New GST compliant technology, such as an IT system for automation of tax calculation, will have to be purchased, tested and integrated with existing ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems well before the start date. Invoice-based taxation under GST will require tighter information system integration across the value chain from supplier to retailer.

Model of Logistics Industry after GST :

• Abolishment of entry taxes
• Standard tax rate computation
• Consolidating indirect taxes
• Reduce the duration of transportation cycles
• Automating the accounting functions
• Cumbersome inventory
• Reporting based on GST

The logistics sector will have to to explore few other factors, there may have multiple type of logistics and supply chain models currently in practice. The reformed ERPs need not only to adhere the GST but also enhance and support the cumbrous inventory management.

Technology with GST compliance will assist business person to automate billing and reporting within the software, inter state – intra state rate calculation will be available which would be computed for every entity.

New System will enable efficient tax administration, data exchange, auditing returns filing, and performance analysis.

Software systems of today may further offer several user-friendly features, such as offline capabilities, alerts, mobile or tablet optimized interface, and additional mechanisms to avoid duplicity of data.

The implementation of GST will bring up lots of opportunity and sources to make money, especially for logistics and transport industry. Hence, enriched with tech solutions, SME and even big enterprises of today can run business swiftly and successfully.

Apart from the preferred asset classes of office and residential, private equity firms have been taking greater interest in warehousing, logistics and retail real estate. Private equity investors and overseas developers are already looking at opportunities to enter India’s industrial and warehousing sector by investing in various development projects.

With the implementation of GST, warehousing and logistics spaces will start to see a consolidation of assets. Unlike earlier (small assets in various states), developers will focus on the development of large-scale, technologically advanced warehouses.

1. Logistics Rearrangement :

With technology uprising new concept of “shareconomy” will be introduced into the scenario, compelled by the idea of collaborative business, the “shareconomy” generate value by leveraging access to goods and services to allow suppliers and consumers for redistribute and reuse.

Sharing vehicles and routes will enable to move more freight for less money in a way that’s fast, convenient, and more environmentally friendly.

New collaborative synergies could create a rising tide that lifts all boats, generating new and potentially lucrative revenue streams in the process.

A shareconomy-style solution would be significantly more efficient and effective, eliminating the figurative middleman and enabling both sides of the logistics equation to connect directly.

2. Challenges & Opportunities :

Transparency should be a prerequisite for such a system to succeed. Assumed users would not view available drivers and vehicle/load, but review carrier ratings, certifications, and insurance.

If similar platforms in other industries are any indication, logistics transactions would be conducted with previously unheard of speed and flexibility. New tools, such as track-and-trace apps, will allow carriers and customers to receive real-time updates and understand where their loads are at all times.

Outside parties have yet to make this happen, and the competitive dynamic that currently exists between different carriers is a disincentive to action that discourages any meaningful movement in that direction. Moving past this sticking point will require someone willing and able to make the capital investment required to bring a paradigm-altering technology platform to the market. Given the high-profile success of shareconomy-based platforms in other industries and applications, it is only a matter of time before that happens.

India has initiated multi-modal program to reduce logistics costs and make the economy competitive. It has been the biggest and effective decision taken by the government towards transportation industry. This project covers all the aspects of improving logistics and transportation. After grave research on logistics Government has decided to transform the entire logistics business to reduce good’s price, speed up delivery and quality of life.

1. Significance of this strategy :

The strategy includes transformation of India’s logistics sector from “point-to-point” model to a “hub-and-spoke” model and can be implied in railways, highways, inland waterways and airports to put in place an effective transportation grid.

This model is called multi-modal transportation, this project is to simplify transportation operation between multiple region or across country.

Multi-modal transport plan includes 35 multi-modal logistics stations at an investment of Rs 50,000 crore. Multi-modal transport play to reduce logistics costs.

2. Implementation :

To implement this, the government is going to host summit show—India Integrated Transport and Logistics Summit—in May.

35 logistics stations have been proposed and identified, they will be set up on railways, highways, inland waterways and airports transportation grid. Fifteen such logistics stations will be constructed in the next five years, and 20 more over the next 10 years. They will act as hubs for freight movement enabling freight aggregation and distribution with modern mechanized warehousing space.

This project will include pre-cooling plants, cold storage, storage facilities for agricultural produce, food grains, hardware, cement, steel, fertilizer. It will have fuel pumps and also truck maintenance shops. All of this will be at one place outside the city.

3. How it will work?

A joint venture will be set up between National Highways Authority of India (49% share) and the partner (51%) for the project which may be a state government or a private entity.

40% of acquired land will be developed and returned to the landowner. While 20% of the land will be sold to finance the project, the profit from the rest 40% of the land will go to National Highway Authority of India.

4. Benefits & Opportunities :

Its first impact will be that it will reduce pollution, traffic jam, create new employment opportunities and contribute towards increasing exports.

It is for the first time that gov has taken an integrated approach for the country’s transportation. This will increase India’s exports, provide employment opportunities, will be cost effective, and will make goods cheaper in the country.
