Penske Logistics launched Supply Chain Insight, a secure technology platform and mobile application that provides customers a robust real-time view of their supply chain operations across transportation and warehousing.
“Our goal with the launch and development of Supply Chain Insight is to help our customers accelerate supply chain performance,” says Jeff Jackson, president of Penske Logistics. “This new platform provides customers with an unprecedented and unified view across their highly complex transportation and warehousing operations. It connects data that is often split across separate systems, giving teams a clearer picture of what’s happening across their supply chain. We plan to continue developing this platform, integrate with other systems and drive further enhancements using AI going forward.”
Key takeaways:
· Supply Chain Insight is built from the ground up to help simplify and streamline operational data across systems into a single dashboard to allow leaders to manage loads, orders and inventory more effectively with real-time insights for continuous operational improvements.
· Supply Chain Insight is built on a modern, cloud-native architecture designed for seamless integration and enterprise scalability.
· Developed on Microsoft Azure with Snowflake as the core data platform, the system combines secure, scalable and high-performance cloud services to meet the demands of complex logistics networks.
· Supply Chain Insight delivers enterprise security, high availability and strong performance – even while processing vast volumes of operational data.
· A unified data layer connects transportation, warehousing and third-party systems to deliver a complete, real-time view of the supply chain. Customers can proactively manage exceptions, eliminate handoff blind spots and minimize delays caused by fragmented systems.
· Moving beyond “Where is my shipment?” the platform reveals “How is my supply chain performing?” through more than 85-plus pre-built and customizable metrics. Leaders can track long-term trends while frontline teams gain operational visibility to address issues as they arise. All within a single platform.
· An embedded AI assistant enables instant, natural language queries for loads, orders and performance data. No dashboards or analysts required. This capability speeds decision-making and expands access to insights across the organization.
· Unlike traditional systems, the platform integrates data from external warehouses, carriers and partners to provide a single, comprehensive view of a customer’s full network. The result is greater control, collaboration and optimization across every link in the supply chain.
