Reasons Why Shippers Need LDB to Better Streamline Their Business Operations

Every shipping company involved in sending and receiving goods both within the country or overseas needs a container tracking system that not only helps them in tracking their containers but also in having immediate access to container delivery time and container dwell time. 

An effective and efficient container tracking system has become a standard norm for all shippers if they want to streamline their business operations well, right from container tracking to analytics reports. 

Logistics Data Bank (LDB): the lifeline of shipping businesses

DLDS’s flagship project Logistics Data Bank (LDB), running on IoT (RFID technology), Big Data, and Cloud-based solutions have emerged as the most reliable solution for shippers not only for real-time and accurate container tracking but also for getting insight into container delivery time and container dwell time. The system has been devised by some of India’s top brains within the industry and presently covers 100% of India’s container volume with more than 30 million containers already tracked.  

Why a system like LDB is required

All shippers must keep track of their valuable containers and the goods inside them as they involve a stout investment on their part. In this competitive age, they need to ship and receive goods on a more precise timeline with no hiccups in between. No container is a one-time affair as they are used multiple times in their lifecycle. They are also called returnable assets, and their safety can be assured only when the shippers know their whereabouts round the clock. A container tracking system is necessary not only for tracking of vessels but also for:

• Having insights into container dwell time and container delivery time

• Quick decision making and improved competitiveness

• Better governance and complete transparency and visibility

• Performance evaluation of ports, Inland Container Depots (ICDs), Container Freight Stations (CFSs) and supply chain, and

• Reduction in lead time and transaction cost.

Concluding Remarks 

DLDS’s flagship project Logistics Data Bank (LDB) is the first container tracking system in India that has incorporated new-age technology in its functionalities and overall mechanism. The system offers container tracking in real-time apart from insights into container dwell time, container delivery time.
