Importance of absolute visibility and control
over logistics providers
2

• For companies which depend heavily on logistics
  providers to arrange delivery of their items in
  time it is of utmost importance that the
  activities are transparent for the client to
  monitor at all times. Especially when it comes to
  high value goods like mechanical equipment in
  Dubai or industrial supplies in Dubai.

• Logistic providers in Dubai ensure that the
  clients have access to information regarding
  their goods at all times.
• This will include the inventory on-hand, the
  status of shipment and the history of all
  transactions. This is also an important aspect
  that clients look for when selecting a logistics
  provider.
• They should be able to provide real time data,
  with control and web based visibility for the
  client over the internet at all times.

• This is also an important feature for logistics
  providers as it will ensure that they are more
  prepared and will do their best to meet deadlines
  at all times to ensure that the clients are
  satisfied with their services provided.
• As the logistic providers will know the client is
  monitoring the status online they will take extra
  care to plan and execute their services and
  provide effective merchandising and distribution
  strategies.

• The logistics providers will also be more likely
  to offer integration of services as required.
• Clients outsource activities to third party
  logistic providers by taking into consideration
  the team they already have in house and what they
  can and cannot accomplish by themselves. Thus the
  services outsources to a logistic provider will
  differ client to client.

• Many clients may require the logistic provider to
  tackle all the tasks and aspects of the supply
  chain.
• Other clients may only need their services for
  specific tasks. It is always wise for the client
  to choose a logistic provider with a wide range
  of services even if they may not need all the
  services for their current projects.
• As the clients business grows it is also
  important that the relationship and the
  confidence they have with their logistic provider
  also grows.

• With total visibility and global services a
  logistic provider will be able to ensure that the
  client is able to enjoy the convenience of having
  a single point of contact, greater leverage on
  the quality of work and less management issues.
