Challenges and trends in the Smart Supply Chain
IoT solutions can help companies in the logistics sector improve their performance. Real-time data allows you to monitor your transport assets precisely, optimize your routes, and increase efficiency. The resulting reduction in transport movements saves costs and makes you more sustainable too. Armed with a continuous overview, you can address problems early and track global shipments. This avoids the loss of valuable goods and paves the way for timely interventions, which gives you the opportunity to improve your customer service.
- Loss of valuable goods
Valuable goods are often lost because of poor administration or theft due to a lack of monitoring. Preventive measures eliminate situations like this and optimize the logistics process. - Early intervention
Without real-time action, issues can escalate and cause significant damage and a degraded customer experience. So, quick action is essential for both customer satisfaction and optimal results. - Monitor global shipments
Monitoring global shipments across multiple carriers is complex and requires an integrated system. A lack of real-time visibility may lead to delays and inefficiencies, and problems with seamless and transparent delivery.
These companies are already using the Internet of Things to achieve innovations




How our customers use IoT
Customer case
Monitoring vaccines in cooling systems to safeguard quality
To guarantee the quality of vaccines, it is important to store and transport them safely. B Medical Systems used KPN’s IoT connectivity to develop a data logger that facilitates the real-time monitoring of the condition of vaccines in refrigeration systems.

Customer case
Data-driven transport
Transport providers want to maximize the returns they achieve from their assets. Route42 helps them do just that. “Our platform makes data-driven business operations possible,” says Max Zillinger from Route42. The company worked with KPN to develop a smart solution for the collection of qualitative data, even for assets without on-board computers.

Customer case
Smart solutions against waste in the logistics process
During transport, transport assets and shipments can get damaged, stolen or lost, forcing companies to incur unnecessary costs. KPN has joined forces with BOX-ID to cut waste in logistics chains.
