The on-demand economy is thriving, driven by two primary forces: consumer demand for instant gratification, known as the NOWISM trend, and the principles of lean manufacturing in B2B environments. Easy4Pro is here to help businesses navigate these challenges effectively.
Let us explain how:
The rise of companies like Amazon and Uber has set new expectations for consumer convenience. Customers now anticipate fast delivery and immediate access to products, creating significant pressure on businesses to adapt. The "Amazon effect" shapes purchasing habits, leading to the demand for on-demand solutions that enhance operational efficiency.leaving the house.
While this has a huge impact on our habits as end customers, the impact of "on-demand" on the efficiencies it opens up for the industrial world is even greater.
How "on-demand" has forever changed the way businesses operate.
Before the on-demand era, companies faced high inventory costs, ranging from 30% to over 75% annually. Lean supply chain principles help organizations minimize waste and enhance responsiveness to customer needs. By implementing a Transport Management System (TMS), businesses can optimize their logistics operations and deliver value more effectively.
The world changed, thanks to experts trying to improve the supply chain and realizing how Lean can add value and reduce their costs significantly.
A lean supply chain defines how a well-designed supply chain should operate to deliver products to the end customer quickly and with minimal waste. A lean supply chain is a great enabler for any organization striving to become leaner and more efficient. Organizations within a lean supply chain are able to more easily leverage their own lean journey and deliver better customer value by responding to customer needs more efficiently, quickly, and predictably. One of the first objectives to be accomplished to achieve it is implementing a Transport Management System.
The on-demand transportation model allows businesses to respond swiftly to market changes. With a plethora of on-demand platforms emerging, companies can leverage technology and Big Data to optimize their logistics strategies. Research indicates that 65% of businesses using on-demand systems have increased their profits by streamlining operations and reducing costs.
