Our third Logmore Features post is here, the fundamental element of scanning! Scanning is a central element of the Logmore service. In fact, almost all of our guides start along the lines of "1. Scan a QR tag...". Now, let's discuss not only the "how" but also the "why" of the scanning process.

Over the past decade, e-commerce has continued to take over our lives, and it's changing the very foundation of our economy. Due to the growth of online purchasing, this has required supply chain management teams and logistics professionals to find more efficient ways to manage inventory and pump out products at a rapid rate.

Our second part of the Logmore Features series explains our new alert system. Alerts streamline the process when something has in fact gone wrong in the shipping or storing, allowing an employee to react faster and more precisely to unwished events. As usual, we've designed the system to be as easy to use as possible, making it possible to implement an alert in only a few clicks in the best situation.

As the world continues to become increasingly connected, and internet-of-things (IoT) takes the supply chain industry by storm, organizations have much to gain from the introduction of this new operating approach known as “digital logistics.” Digitization, in its simplest definition, is the process of collecting data from disparate silos or buckets and aggregating it to create a holistic view of individual processes from beginning to end.

Supply chain management forms the backbone of most economies and successful multinational companies today. From humble beginnings to global standards, its relatively short history is summarized in this article.

For most companies, product returns are an inevitable — if unpleasant and potentially costly — part of doing business. Reverse logistics is the process of tracking a product’s life cycle in reverse: from the consumer back to the seller or manufacturer. While a business may not be able to recoup all of the costs associated with a return, a good reverse logistics strategy can help minimise losses and increase customer satisfaction.

Logistics, known for being the "Invisible Industry", is the silent, immense construct that ensures that all of the things we take for granted work. After all, without shipping, storing, distributing, most of us would run out of food fast, not to mention the vast majority of the infrastructure shutting down. Every moment millions of logistics employees work, so that most of us can simply drop at the store to pick up some milk, have heating in our house, and even have electricity.

Product development processes are always exciting, and successful cooperation projects even more so. Artekno Smartbox is one of those cooperative achievements, where two companies of different industries manage to create something new together.

Most businesses concentrate the bulk of their efforts on getting a product off the shelves, out the door, and into customers’ hands. This makes good business sense. After all, you can’t make money without selling. However, what happens when a customer is dissatisfied with a product? Whether it’s the wrong size, not what the customer expected or just no longer needed, how does a business handle returns? How does it ensure customer satisfaction even when the buyer’s experience took a bad turn?

Data logging sounds complicated, but can actually make managing your supply chain a lot easier. Think about it. How much have you lost in goods damaged during transit? What if you could just prevent the damage in the first place? It’s a no brainer, right? And that’s exactly what data logging can do by implementing efficient monitoring. So what exactly is data logging? Take a look at this comprehensive definition of data logging and all its components.

In 2017, the cold-chain logistics spending was globally over $13 billion for biopharmaceutical goods alone - of which 20-40% is estimated to be damaged during shipping. That's one fifth to almost a half of all shipped goods in the industry. Obviously, that's horrible for both your bottom line and the environment, so what can you do about it?

A start-up can be here today, gone tomorrow. Or they can be unknown even locally today, and world-famous tomorrow. Your guess is as good as mine. There’s one thing, however, that is generally true about start-ups: there’s a lot of enthusiasm and optimism involved.

Intelligent apps combine big data, IoT and AI in a promising mix that will certainly boost many aspects of day-to-day life. While the B2B environment is bound to develop slower, the meaning of intelligent apps and machine learning might be even more considerable than in B2C.

QR codes are a very everyday thing for us these days, and a central part of worklife for us at Logmore. Now we'd like to shed some light on how the QR code has evolved through the years.

Receiving, put-away, picking, packing, dispatching, returns, and value-adding. These are the seven processes of every warehouse. While executed differently throughout warehouses worldwide, the need for these processes to meet the stringent performance demands of the current climate is universal. Thankfully, these four technologically-inclined tools ensure warehouses run with the utmost efficiency.

Autonomous, self-driving cars are an exciting new frontier for both organizations and consumers. What road will they take us down in the future?

Continuing with supply chain discussion, it is time for talking about big data and how it can improve supply chain management.

A buzzword of the past few years, Blockchain is a recent innovation on the field of cyber security. But what is it? Hardly anyone seems to be able to explain it in simple terms. Here's one try to put it into words.
