“Unbundling” Parcel Transit: Streamlining Communication and Connecting Value Adding Participants
At Alice IOT, we know that communication is the backbone of efficient parcel transit. Whether moving parcels domestically or across borders, sharing accurate, real-time data is essential to keeping shipments on track.
Why Communication Matters
Cross-border parcel transit can be complicated. Each shipment involves multiple parties, from the warehouse where it’s packed to the final mile delivery provider. Without streamlined communication, delays, errors, and unnecessary costs can quickly pile up.
Traditional systems often struggle to share data effectively between logistics partners. As a result, parcels can get stuck at borders or be routed inefficiently, leading to customer dissatisfaction and lost revenue.
"The absence of that communication and the difficulty of that communication has held up the unbundling of cross-border transit up till now."
Our Approach
Alice IOT solves this problem by creating a single platform that ingests, enhances, and shares parcel data seamlessly across the entire transit chain. Our system collects all the necessary information about each parcel:
Size, weight, and contents
Origin and destination
Required transit speed and price sensitivity
Customs clearance details and gateway preferences
Once ingested, this data is enhanced and made accessible to all transit parties. No more fragmented updates or manual data entry - just real-time information shared effortlessly between carriers, brokers, and final mile providers.
"We create a single platform that ingests parcel data, enhances that data, and shares that same data with all of the transit parties down the chain."
What This Means for Your Business
By enabling transparent communication at every stage, Alice IOT helps you:
Increase Efficiency: Minimise delays by keeping everyone in the loop with real-time data.
Reduce Errors: Avoid miscommunication between carriers and customs brokers.
