挑战
当客户于 2018 年来到 Belitsoft 时，他们的公司使用了旧版 ERP，并结合了 .xls 文件和在浏览器中打开的多个选项卡来访问第三方应用程序。这个过程非常耗时，意味着大量的手动重复工作，并且面临人为错误的高风险。
- 货运经纪人使用 3 个不同的运营商市场（DAT、Truckstop、Truckertools）并在装载板上手动发布来自客户的新请求。
- 货运经纪人手动为每个承运人创建并通过电子邮件发送协议。此外，他们使用第三方服务在线管理保险，然后将签署的文件上传到 ERP。
- 货运经纪人在第三方应用程序的帮助下跟踪装载状态和位置，而客户无法访问此应用程序。因此，如果客户想知道他们的负载状态，他们会打电话或发电子邮件给经纪人。
- 货运经纪人通过第 3 方 EFS 系统为司机创建 EFS 检查。然后，他们手动将所有数据传输到运输管理系统和会计部门。
- 货运管理公司的会计师在从经纪人处获得有关已交付货物的信息后，手动输入向客户和承运人开具发票所需的所有数据。
- 货运经纪人通过电子邮件从承运人那里收到一揽子文件并将其上传到 ERP。然后，经纪人手动将必要的文件重新发送给客户，并将带有财务数据的文件重新发送给会计师。
- 货运管理公司的所有者通过从 ERP、会计软件和 .xls 文件中收集信息来分析承运人和客户的盈利能力以及经纪人的业绩。

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
