Will Smart announced that it would hold an online seminar on the 12th covering operations management DX using the OBDII-type digital tachograph Will-Fleet. The seminar will introduce ways to improve operations management for small and midsize transportation and logistics operators, focusing on three functions: automatic preparation of daily reports, automatic storage of legally required records and visualization of driving performance data.
Will Smart announced that it would hold an online seminar on the 12th. Will-Fleet connects to an OBDII port to obtain mileage, driving time and vehicle location data, which can be used to confirm current locations, monitor fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and provide safety guidance based on driving conditions by driver. It also supports shippers in visualizing loading, unloading and operations data, including data from contractors, and preparing data for CLO reports.
According to the company, the average load factor in logistics operations recovered to 41.3% in fiscal 2024, while average waiting time per trip reached 1 hour 34 minutes. As compliance with the amended Logistics Efficiency Act advances, both shippers and logistics operators increasingly need to record and visualize operating data and use it to improve transport efficiency.
For small and midsize operators, implementation and operating costs, as well as data fragmentation caused by multiple systems, have been identified as challenges. Will Smart aims to improve operations management through the automation and automatic storage of daily reports and data visualization.
As an implementation example for digital tachographs, Will Smart plans to introduce initiatives that promote data utilization by both shippers and transportation operators, including reducing waiting times and preparing data for CLO reports.
