挑战
Jel Sert experienced issues from rapid growth, including an over-stressed transportation staff that manually processed over 25,000 orders annually. These manual processes included handwritten orders and using spreadsheets to manage transportation. Jel Sert missed opportunities for cost savings through freight consolidation. Orders were processed as received, then filled and dispatched sequentially. As Jel Sert grew, the transportation staff became a critical resource. Freight costs were not analyzed or optimized because of staff shortages. Rising fuel costs escalated transportation costs significantly and the increase in transportation costs drew the attention of senior management. Jel Sert established a list of goals for the transportation system and services: Reduced transportation spend, Incorporate critical legacy processes and data, Create new and improved business processes, Manage exceptions, Enable enterprise-wide visibility.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.
