Disrupting the System: How Alice IOT is Transforming Parcel Transit

At Alice IOT, we’re not just improving parcel transit - we’re redefining it. Traditional logistics models often concentrate power in the hands of a few major players who control the entire process. This can create inefficiencies and added costs, particularly in cross-border movements, where multiple intermediaries may take a cut without directly contributing to the transit.

We’re changing that.

Turning the Ecosystem on Its Head

Our platform flips the conventional system by giving power back to the parties that actively contribute to the parcel’s journey. Rather than relying on a single entity to manage everything, Alice IOT connects those who directly impact the transit process.

The Problem with Traditional Systems

In the past, one organisation often controlled every step - from collection to final delivery. This centralisation not only limited flexibility but also introduced unnecessary intermediaries, adding margins without actively contributing to the transit process.

Our Approach: Value-Driven Collaboration

We connect those who directly enhance the journey:

  1. Collectors: Responsible for picking up parcels.

  2. Handlers: Manage processing at key handling nodes.

  3. Export Brokers: Navigate export requirements and regulations.

  4. Transport Providers: Offer space on planes, trucks, or ships.

Our platform ensures that every contributor who plays an active role in moving a parcel from point A to point B can participate in the network. This model not only eliminates unnecessary intermediaries but also creates a more agile and cost-efficient logistics process.

Why This Matters for Your Business

  • Lower Costs: By cutting out margin takers, you pay only for value-added services.

  • Greater Flexibility: Choose the best partners for each step without being locked into a single provider.

  • Improved Efficiency: The platform dynamically selects the most efficient route using real-time data.

  • More Opportunities: Smaller, specialised logistics companies can compete on equal footing with major players.

 

“We completely upend the notion that you need to own all of those assets to move a parcel from one place to another.”
