Fujitsu has announced the launch of a new cloud-based logistics data standardisation and visualisation service for shippers, logistics companies, and vendors across the supply chain.
The service will offer new tools to customers to achieve sustainability in their operations and address a variety of challenges, including looming shortages of truck drivers, the urgent need to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation, and compliance with stricter industry regulations.
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-based service converts and standardises a wide range of logistics data for areas like inventory and transport.
By providing indicators for visualising and analysing logistics data, the new service aims to support business improvement and process reform to optimise operations amidst growing complexity and uncertainties for supply chain managers.
Fujitsu will launch the new service in the Japanese market from 14 December 2023 as an offering for Trusted Society under Fujitsu Uvance.
