<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIn addition, each type of software also has notable differences from others that are in exactly the same category. Therefore, it is necessary to go beyond the category and see the functionalities that each system offers to know exactly whether or not it adjusts to the needs of each company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
This article has compiled the most relevant type of systems that exist in the market, highlighting in some cases the functionalities that, in some cases, we can find integrated into other systems or as standalone products.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nGlobal software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere you can find a list of global systems<\/strong> for any company that are somehow related to logistics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)<\/strong>: takes care of the internal operations of a company that can range from production to distribution. In an ERP, the processes are automated, different databases are integrated into a single program and all the information is centralized on the same platform. The most common functionalities of these systems are purchasing, sales, billing, accounting, inventory, human resources and CRM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- E-commerce platform<\/strong>: with the rise of electronic commerce, this type of platform has become a very common tool to manage the online catalog of products, online sales and payments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Logistics software - e-commerce platform<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Demand forecasting<\/strong>: software typically based on artificial intelligence that helps forecast demand and thus optimize supply. Obviously it is a fundamental aspect to design and estimate resources required for logistics operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Contract management<\/strong>: allows you to digitally manage the creation, negotiation, signing and renewal of legal contracts. Although it is not strictly a logistics software, it is a very clear use case, since the legal documentation generated in logistics activities is very extensive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If we focus on the supply chain, we can find the following programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supply Chain software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Supply Network Design<\/strong>: allow modeling all flows from manufacturing to final delivery. In general, it allows simulating variations in demand to see how the entire supply chain would behave, as well as in more advanced cases, the possibility of searching for new locations for factories or warehouses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Control tower<\/strong>: it offers a global vision of the supply chain in real time and, in turn, allows actions to be taken to modify or activate processes at the right time. The main difference with a dashboard is that in the case of a control tower, in addition to supervision, concrete actions can be taken to make changes in the operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Digital Twin<\/strong>: this module provides a simulation of a physical asset, fully digitizing the resources and behavior of a physical process. This allows you to monitor the performance of the asset in real time and thus simulate the performance to be able to predict, for example, possible maintenance needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sales and operations planning (S&OP)<\/strong>: solution that allows aligning sales plans with company operations. Typically for manufacturers, it allows to create a unified plan for forecasting sales and the needs derived in logistics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Logistics software for transportation and distribution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCentrados ya en lo m\u00e1s esencial de la log\u00edstica, vamos a ver distintas soluciones y funcionalidades<\/strong><\/a> para gestionar tanto el transporte de larga distancia<\/a> <\/strong>como la distribuci\u00f3n o reparto de \u00faltima milla<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Fleet Management (FMS)<\/strong><\/a>: control and monitor the fleet of vehicles. In general, it allows you to track the location of each vehicle, manage documentation, fines and analyze driving efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tracking mobile app for drivers<\/strong><\/a>: complete traceability of the delivery process, incident management, digital proof of delivery and a series of functionalities that allow real-time information regarding the deliveries in progress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Last mile route optimizer<\/a><\/strong>: automatic route planning for the last mile. It helps to reduce the kilometers traveled, improve delivery capacity, reduce costs and increase margins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
