BILOG

Logistics companies make important decisions every day, such as purchasing, providing quotations, investing in sustainable technology, and developing business strategies. Ideally, these decisions are backed by detailed calculations to understand their impact on the company. However, in reality many companies lack the necessary digital data and struggle to efficiently collect and use the available data for reporting, such as on sustainability or post-calculation. Additionally, utilizing data from partners presents an even greater challenge.

Objective

In the BILOG project, VIL will develop a methodology that will make Business Intelligence practical for all logistics companies. This methodology will outline how to collect and access data, as well as how to use existing BI tools to analyse and visualize this data. The data can be used to make better business decisions within the company or to create reports, such as sustainability reports.

Opportunities

• An up-to-date understanding of order and contract profitability ensures better long-term business performance.
• Improved access to relevant data makes sustainability reporting feasible for all companies.

Concrete activities

• Identify which data is needed and which is available, in which systems. Which data sets are necessary for analysis, reporting and
  policy decisions.
• Develop a BI methodology for logistics (SME) companies, using existing BI systems.
  Hereby we focus on: efficiency, sustainability and strategic decisions.
• Development of 2 Proof-of-Concepts, in cooperation with participating companies.
•  Provide insight into the possibilities of business intelligence and develop a roadmap for implementation.
