Thus far, the lack of a dedicated dashboard to show summary tables regarding the status of the shipments have made it very difficult for the program managers and the sales team to monitor and follow up with requests from the client regarding specific shipments. Furthermore, the shift of the company’s direction to be proactive instead of reactive has prompted for the development of systems that would aid in monitoring and also provide analysis for users to not just follow up on cases, but to also seek avenues for further improvements.

Project Background

Our sponsors are a Regional Logistics Provider that has done many different projects, handling areas pertaining to warehousing, distribution and e-Commerce. One of the new projects taken on by the company is to manage the distribution network for one of its major clients, handling both reverse logistics and forward logistics, hence having both inbound and outbound shipments. With the start of this new project, the complexities in the processes have resulted in complications that require finding solutions from the data which gives us an understanding of what is happening on ground as we cannot be physically present. Similarly, all questions posed by the client are to be answered accompanied by data evidence to prove the legitimacy of the answers. Hence it becomes crucial to find ways to better read and understand the data to gain deeper insights from it.

Business Problem

Motivation

As final year students graduating soon from university, we seek to find a project that would suit our future directions in career path. What we believe that will be rising in the future is e-Commerce and Logistics. Being familiar with logistics and distribution would aid us greatly in managing e-Commerce solutions and systems that we will work on in the future. Following this, we engaged a logistics company in the market that has partnered with various firms handling the logistics solutions and e-Commerce platforms for them, where we will learn from hands on experience in this project.
