India phenomenal growth across industries doubled with the entry of multi-nationals has spawned the need for smart logistics and efficient supply chain management. In this rapidly growing market quality service is of utmost importance for logistics service providers to face the stiff competition and retain customers. So what can logistics service providers do to overcome their challenges? Technology is the key. Traditionally in the logistics sector, which is primarily unorganized, information technology has faced extreme neglect. It is only of late logistics companies have realized the importance of Information technology in transforming them into a more efficient and competitive. The logistics sectors failure in adopting technology has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in its progress.
The low penetration of technology in the logistic sector coupled with the highly redundant processes, wastes lot of time and is an obstacle to expansion of operations beyond certain limits. The rudimentary systems used by the logistics companies are outdated and incapable of serving the needs of current times. Among those who have adopted technology to some extent, the use of independent software for each of their processes has created islands of information. These independent systems or do not communicate with each other, affecting the visibility and decision taking ability of the company, thereby undermining their efforts and ability to provide efficient logistic services.
The winds of change are blowing with the emergence of organized players and the introduction of various technology solutions like supply chain software and Freight Forwarding software in this sector. Logistics companies have lately woken up to the importance of technology in delivering quality services to their customers. Looking at the current scenario in the logistics sector in India one finds that the companies have not adapted to the changing scenario and have failed to keep pace with the technological requirements of modern times.
Today all activities associated with international trade have come under the ambit of information technology. Yet, many service providers are still not fully aware of the potential and actual benefits that can accrue from it.
The logistics sector can no longer afford to put off adoption of new technologies and integrating the same into their operations. The logistics companies are under tremendous pressure from their partners and customers to change their traditional styles of functioning and adopt modern systems and technologies to help speedy delivery and enhance performance. It is significant that many logistics service providers including freight forwarders , NVOCC, Custom Brokers (Custom House Agents), have started investing heavily on new information and communication technologies to perform better.
The advancement in information technology has led to the arrival of software for supply chain operations, freight forwarding and custom clearing .With the latest technology logistics service providers are no longer handicapped by geographical limitations and can very well expand their business to any location. Technology allows them to operate from anywhere and at the same time maintain high visibility and control. They are also able to integrate their operations with partners and customers. The biggest challenge of holding on to competitive advantage can be overcome with information technology. Given the rapidly changing market scenario it is certain that adoption of information technology is the only way to face new challenges of the future.

The common manner of the call center agents answering calls is gradually becoming an out-of-date manner of facilitating solutions. In today’s world of Internet, the consumer driven market is no more pleased much by calling call centers. The consumer may choose to reach contact center solutions through IM, text, email, and more. It’s no longer hopeful to keep your customers faithful simply by taking calls, and it has become crucial to be proactive in your way for making fine customer relationship, and also provide satisfactory solutions to customers’ problems for breaking a deal.
In fact you want a contact center and you would need to reach out to the consumer market by way of making use of the communication channel that your consumer needs.

For a successful contact center, close considerations have to be given in the direction of reducing your costs and adding to your agent efficiency, even as bearing in mind the importance for each and every customer you have.
Home-based virtual sort of contact centers have grown up in the last two to three years. This growth has been especially leveraged by the huge support that the home agent’s model of business has received from the industries. In implementing this business model, there have been numerous changes made, and there are numerous business drivers which are driving this business model in the direction of immense success.
Improving Upon Customer Satisfaction While Keeping Costs Low:
To be competitive, many organizations, from outsourcing to huge corporations, have immensely decreased costs in offering contact center solutions with moving their contact centers abroad to countries such as India and the Philippines. This has become much profitable since home agents are much cheaper to retain with an estimated 20% to 25% reduction in costs.
The Usage of Existing Technology:
In the past there was a considerable disadvantage in communication for the home agents. Presently with the availability of Broadband, the problem of connectivity has been resolved to a great extent. The same for multi-site contact centers, costs involving efficiency-draining levels of infrastructure intricacy has been brought down by the exploit of server consolidations, which has facilitated companies to eliminate under utilization of hardware hence lessening related expenditures. The use of resource pooling has increased the efficiency of existing equipment, and the added business intelligence in offering contact center solutions have further increased effectiveness, in this manner improving customer loyalty.
Ways of Cost Reduction:
The efficiency of contact centers are getting more improved by “just in time” work distribution, with the agent having less vacant time which has added to agent occupancy. This has further decreased staffing costs, with the supervisor having more time to direct and train agents.
Getting used to the right business logic can decrease customer waiting times, and makes sure that calls are routed to the agents having the correct skills, linking the high level customers with well trained sales associates. Lower wait time may provide a guaranteed customer contentment, and decreases call abandoning by a great extent.
