Management applications optimize operations and reduce costs

Supermarket logistics are undergoing a significant revolution thanks to the adoption of innovative technologies. With the integration of fleet management applications, the sector has experienced a notable improvement in safety, agility and efficiency, culminating in a substantial cost reduction in the transportation of goods. This advancement is in line with consumers' growing expectations for a shopping experience that is not only fast and convenient, but also efficient and sustainable.

The implementation of technological solutions in logistics has allowed supermarkets of all sizes to optimize their operations, from receiving products to delivery to shelves, promoting a significant transformation both in terms of operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Telemetry and conscious management

Victor Vilas Boas Cavalcanti, CEO of Infleet, highlights that one of the biggest benefits of logistics management applications is telemetry. The technology not only contributes to the safety of drivers and passengers by identifying possible accident risks, but also increases the operational efficiency of the fleet. This translates into a reduction in fueling and maintenance costs and guarantees better vehicle performance, as drivers' driving is improved through the monitoring of behaviors such as braking, cornering and acceleration.

Integration and efficiency in the supply chain

Logistics management applications facilitate coordination between suppliers, warehouses and stores, improving communication and planning across the entire supply chain. This allows for faster and more accurate product replenishment, avoiding shelf stockouts and ensuring that the right items are available at the right time. This efficient integration is crucial to keeping operations on schedule and identifying and preventing failures in the transportation chain.

Optimized deliveries and sustainable practices

The adoption of logistics management applications has also transformed supermarket delivery systems, making them more efficient. Optimizing delivery routes, reducing waiting times and improving punctuality are just some of the advantages. Furthermore, more effective logistics management strengthens the supplier network and encourages sustainable practices, aligning with consumer expectations for products and companies that adopt responsible environmental protocols.

Success in practice: the case of Rede Mix

Technology proved to be a transformative element for Rede Mix, a group with several stores in Salvador and the Metropolitan Region. The implementation of the Infleet Super App allowed the company to not only more effectively monitor its supply and maintenance metrics and services, but also carry out more precise control, aimed at reducing costs. As a result, Rede Mix experienced a significant 45% reduction in corrective maintenance spending, a powerful testament to the positive impact technology can have on logistics management.

“The example of Rede Mix clearly illustrates how technology can, in a short period of time, contribute to more efficient fleet management, cost reduction and greater security, ensuring a more pleasant shopping experience in a market that is increasingly more competitive and technology-driven”, concludes Cavalcanti.

In short, the integration of fleet management applications is redefining supermarket logistics, promoting safer, more agile and economical operations, and positioning the sector at the forefront of technological innovation and sustainability.
