In the realm of critical logistics, every second counts, especially when delivering time-sensitive and high-value goods, such as emergency medical supplies or vital components for manufacturing. Within the industry, deliveries must be completed quickly, securely and reliably. Critical logistics providers must be ready to meet urgent demands with precision and ensure to offer reliable deliveries of anything, anytime and anywhere.
Criticalog is one such company which offers customised critical logistics solutions to Fortune 500 companies across diverse industries, from shipping to healthcare. The company utilises their own vehicles and other transporters for intercity movements, with a reach of 16,500+ pin codes across India.
In cases where their own vehicles are occupied, Criticalog sources the same from local vendors. Finding vehicles for ad hoc requirements during odd hours was time-consuming. More, to offer complete security, personnel from the company needed to accompany the cargo, which further added to the effort made per booking. Additionally, Criticalog wanted a solution to track multiple vehicles nationwide and find a solution to ease the management of paper-based invoices. Overall, these factors were affecting Criticalog’s business efficiency.
In June 2021, Criticalog tied up with Porter for Enterprise, a specialised logistics solution from Porter for businesses. Through this partnership, Porter for Enterprise heavily cut down the vehicle confirmation time from an average of 45 minutes to as little as 5-10 minutes. The centralised dashboard also helped in solving the immediate challenge of tracking multiple vehicles PAN-India. This dashboard offered visibility into trip-level data across the nation and eliminated the need for paper-based invoices by enabling cashless payments, which resulted in easy reconciliations.
Additionally, Porter for Enterprise implemented efficient tracking mechanisms at an account and administrative level. With the help of the dashboard, Criticalog could now also monitor spends on a city-wise and region-wise basis, gaining access to greater insights. Proof of Delivery (POD) was also provided in a digital format, creating efficiency by eliminating the need for manual paperwork while still retaining reliability.
Porter for Enterprise’s services yielded significant improvements for Criticalog and the overall time savings led to an improvement in efficiency. The comprehensive intracity network from Porter for Enterprise streamlined processes and ensured quicker movement of goods, bolstering Criticalog’s ability to meet time-sensitive delivery requirements. These consistent and reliable deliveries from Porter for Enterprise further improved Criticalog’s efficiency as a critical logistics provider.
Speaking about the partnership, Sriramachandran T M, Project Manager at Criticalog, said, “Porter for Enterprise has helped us gain visibility over all our deliveries, something which is very important in the field of critical logistics. When hiring vehicles from local vendors, we would need to rent these for the whole day as well as send personnel out to ensure total security. On the other hand, Porter for Enterprise offers us flexibility to hire vehicles on-demand and the trust to independently send out deliveries. Porter for Enterprise suits our SOP perfectly making it a reliable logistics partner for us at Criticalog.”
By partnering with Porter for Enterprise, Criticalog successfully addressed critical operational challenges and achieved remarkable improvements in vehicle allocation time and transit efficiency.
