Revolutionizing Retail Logistics with Roambee
Roambee is setting a new standard in retail logistics with groundbreaking advancements in supply chain visibility. By enhancing stock availability and cutting down on dwell times, their state-of-the-art container tracking technology significantly boosts operational efficiency.
Enhancing Visibility for Tesco
Roambee's innovative supply chain visibility platform has enabled Tesco to minimize dwell times and improve stock accuracy across an extensive network of over 3,000 locations. By utilizing artificial intelligence, this cutting-edge solution has provided Tesco with real-time visibility over 23,000 unique container journeys, amassing over 6.21 million miles through a complex rail and road logistics system.
Transitioning to Real-Time Tracking
Previously, Tesco relied on third-party data for tracking thousands of containers through various terminals and zones. With Roambee's technology, real-time access to container locations has become possible. This transition allows Tesco to confirm deliveries on the spot, swiftly resolve issues, and maintain greater inventory accuracy.
Testimonials on Improved Operations
"Roambee's platform has dramatically changed how we manage container movements across our logistics network," stated Benjamen Smith, Head of Primary, Global and Rail Logistics at Tesco. "Now informed with real-time visibility, we no longer depend on third-party data. We can trace our shipments effortlessly, reducing delivery errors and ensuring our stores remain well-stocked. This real-time insight leads to quicker issue resolution, minimized dwell times, and enhanced stock accuracy throughout our operations."
Integration of Solar-Powered Sensors
Tesco has outfitted all its containers in the UK with solar-powered sensors, which continuously monitor the status of groceries and other products being shipped. This innovative step has also increased security, providing real-time alerts regarding route deviations, delays, and unexpected stoppages.
Setting a New Standard in Supply Chain Efficiency
"With this unparalleled visibility into container movements and better stock accuracy, especially in less predictable transport modes like rail, Tesco has set a benchmark for supply chain efficiency," commented Sanjay Sharma, CEO of Roambee. "As global supply chains evolve to become more interconnected, Roambee's technology empowers our clients to lead this transformation, unlocking new avenues for growth and resilience." Roambee’s platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with Tesco’s scheduling systems to monitor container movement, arrival and departure times, and dwell times across its logistics network.
