Synergizing software and automation for game-changing logistics solutions - LogisticsGulf
Beyond just solu ons, it is essen al for a company’s so ware to be connected with
the ERP systems, last-mile delivery pla orms, inventory management, and invoicing
systems. The goal is to create a network of solu ons that communicate effortlessly
with each other.

For example, at Savoye, we developed ODATiO, which is made up of three modules –
Order Management System (OMS), Warehouse Management System (WMS), and

Transport Management System (TMS).

These modules can work independently or as part of an integrated whole. The key is

that they are all na vely connected to handle everything – from sequencing and
orchestra ng orders to managing the fulfilment process inside the warehouse and
coordina ng transporta on.

By focusing on these connected, adaptable systems, logis cs companies can stay agile
and quickly respond to changes in the supply chain. Integra on is no longer a nice-to-

have; it is a must-have for companies aiming to thrive in today’s fast-evolving
landscape.

LG: Sustainability is growing priority in logis cs. How can technology help the
industry minimise environmental impact while improving efficiency?

AK: Sustainability is becoming a crucial priority in logis cs. To achieve true
sustainability in the industry, it is essen al to adopt a pragma c approach that
balances three pillar –people, planet, and profit. At Savoye, we understand that

neglec ng any one of these pillars undermines the very concept of sustainability.

Therefore, we aim to create solu ons that impact all these aspects simultaneously. For

example, our packing machine – Jivaro – reduces carton sizes, leading to increased
efficiency by allowing more items to fit in fewer trucks, thus lowering carbon
footprints.

Furthermore, our so ware, ODATiO, further op mises packaging by determining the
appropriate carton sizes for items, thereby minimising waste and packing material.

This not only decreases the size of shipped goods but also reduces transport fuel
consump on.

While we envision a carbon-free future, we must also recognise that businesses need
to be profitable. Therefore, as logis cs companies, we should be taking small,
impac ul steps towards sustainability that are both prac cal and economically viable.
