F&L Think TankData Management in Logistics
Final Presentation - Barcelona 2015, November 27th
AGENDA
The project: 30’ Background, purpose, scope What did we expect? Milestones and findings Individual learning
Reflections: 30’ GS1 Mr. Gregor Herzog
Q&A followed by a panel discussion: 25’
Conclusion and possible next steps: 5’
Data management - an important topic for the future
„Track and trace”, end to end chain visibility, especially between modes, becomes critical, requiring that data management standards between the different modes are developed
Map current practices of the industry by collecting input from F&L membersand experts in logistics data management.
Determine constraints and limitations for shippers, LSP and ASP (Application Service Providers) and explore possibilities for overcoming these.
Provide an outlook for the next 3-5 years, focusing on system connectivity between the various partners.
Involvement of > 20 major companies representing Shippers, Carriers, Ports & Railways and ASP
Kick-off meeting Vienna, 2015 February 19th - 20th

F&L Think TankData Management in Logistics
Where did we start?
SCOPE:
All transport modes (except air) and logistics services.FTL/FCL flows from supplier to factory and from factory to warehouse.Data-throughput and transactional process for all players involved to proceed a transport-order
Data Management in Logistics- is rather an organizational challenge than a technical one- requires a Clear Business Process and joint understanding between parties.
The “information” is available - the challenge however is to get (just) the requested set of datain the right moment, in the right formatto the right place (person/system)without manual interventions!
WHO NEEDS WHAT, WHEN, HOW OFTEN, IN WHICH FORMAT, WHICH SYSTEMS
4 external IT & solution providers invited for Meeting & Discussion @ Vienna, 2015 August 31st
What do the experts say?Providers selected as
representatives for specific segments.
„The Digital Logistics Language in 2020“Vienna, 2015 August 31st
So many experts, representing all kind of specific segments…
Devices: (OBU, GPS, Mobile devices, Tags, Telematik, etc.)
„The Digital Logistics Language in 2020“Vienna, 2015 August 31st
Takeaways: Four completely different solutions, none unique. They do not compete nor cooperate, but have some overlap.
Telematics
1. Track the product, not the trailer.2. Bluetooth instead of RFID.3. Rather a “last mile” solution, for high value / sensitive cargo.
Platform (Generalist)
1. Trend for smaller, individual solutions, which may include LTL and other modes.2. Develop relationships with carrier and shipper and try to enhance value for both to optimize process.
„The Digital Logistics Language in 2020“Vienna, 2015 August 31st
Takeaways (continue):
Standards:1. Global reach and advanced. Core industries FMCG and Pharmaceutical. 2. There are 3 Elements of a „Common Language“a) Technical Language (e.g. XML) HOW do we talkb) Semantic Language (standard processes) WHAT do we talk ABOUTc) Identification Numbers a COMMON VOCABULARY
Converters/Translators: 1. Not even “standards” are “standard”2. Someone has to do the translation (customer, platform or service provider)3. Which information do the parties REALLY need? A lot of waste (2 GB messages to provide 16MB information) which cause pressure on networks (internal and infrastructure)
Summary LEARNINGS (2)
F&L Think TankData Management in Logistics
Presentations helped to understand the issue from a strategic perspective.
There is not one solution, nor do we expect that there will be ever a unique “one size fits all” solution.
Everyone working with own legacy systems (which have no standardised format) AND there are various modal platforms.
Standards exist for data objects and logistics objects but not for the process; each of us must better understand what we're dealing with internally and how to work with external parties to select one of the multitude of solutions out there.
You have to start yourself, with your own database (own ERP, own process…). Achievement potential depends on what level a person/company is at.
Recommendations:
The most effective way to remove complexity is to replace old systems with a company wide ERP system including logistics, and use this replacement as a leverage to introduce best practices for data harmonisation.
A second best option would be to introduce a central master data management system for harmonised data, which will hugely simplify the data exchange to the supply chain partners because this can act as a single hub between all non-harmonised internal systems and the outside world.

Shippers: If you choose a web-platform for any transactional process,make sure that the process is clear and consistent and check usability/connectivity/costs for the users (LSPs &
Carriers!)
LSPs: You need to understand the transactional processand offer 100 % connectivity to “any” system in “any” format.
Platforms: Ensure user-friendly interface/connections and technical supportto ALL users! (to both those who wish to receive information and those who have
to provide information)
ALL: It’s up to YOU to make a difference and trigger changeStart with your own, internal ERP system!

100 % connectivity to any system, end to end integration to all levels and to all users
and alignement (between partners) in information exchange are key!
