As a front-end for consumers and businesses, retailers and ecommerce companies highly depend on logistics and supply chain players to manage their activities, forecast inventories, plan their offer and optimize products’ shipping. A Data Exchange Platform accelerates data circulation and facilitates data access in order to create trusted, reliable services and improve customer experience. By exchanging data with transport and logistics players, retailers and ecommerce can:
- Increase predictability on transit time to warehousing
- Optimize storage and stock management, and reduce waste
- Offer real-time product delivery visibility to customers
- Improve customer experience with last-mile freight delivery services
Smart City and Public Services
To ensure a better quality of life and meet new environmental standards, today's cities face critical challenges such as climate change, traffic management, and decluttering city centers. Their mission is also to provide a solid infrastructure, coupled with efficient and compelling public services. With a City data hub, smart cities can build public/private data partnerships with transport and logistics players to improve the city’s quality of services by:
- Evaluating and segmenting traffic zones to create predictive models
- Decongesting city center by redirecting traffic and modifying routes based on weather data or freight transportation data
- Addressing rapidly evolving public transportation disruptions by offering alternative on-time services
- Improving predictability and building models based on sustainability or ecological impact.

- Extend customized insurance products by monitoring driver behavior patterns
- Increase loyalty programs through more adapted data-powered services
Warehousing and Inventory Management
To optimize business activity, warehousing and inventory management services strongly depend on optimizing space capacity, location occupancy and transportation transit time in order to reduce surplus and overheat, and capitalize on their building infrastructures. Exchanging data with transport and logistics players enables organizations to improve operational efficiencies and generate new revenue streams by:
- Building data partnerships with freight providers and supply chain operators to rent real-time empty storage spaces
