As a consumer, you may already be taking advantage of GPS technology to obtain driving directions to a destination or even to keep track of lost luggage.

Imagine that you have ordered connectors and transceivers from <\/span>Bel Fuse\u2019s product catalog<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, for instance. Just what information can this monitoring technology yield about the shipment?<\/span><\/p>\n When you know where your fleet is at any given time due to this technology, you can take advantage of its ability to enhance your route planning. In addition to mere location, you can also plan the path your components will take from origin to endpoint, including keeping an eye out for changing conditions along the way and adjusting for them by implementing detours. As a result, you can cut down on your transportation costs. Finally, you can utilize the data to choose the driver or vendor best suited to a particular job. For example, one company might be ideal for handling rugged rural conditions, while another may have a record for efficient city navigation.<\/span><\/p>\n Mobile technology has revolutionized not only the way consumers shop but also how companies do business, and supply chain management is no exception. Modern track and trace systems can be used with a smartphone, enabling managers to make decisions and handle crises from anywhere at any time.<\/span><\/p>\nRoute Planning<\/strong><\/h2>\n
