Abstract
Cloud-based analytics has transformed logistics data management by enabling real-time data processing, improving visibility, and supporting fact-based decision-making. Traditional logistics systems struggle with data silos, delayed reporting, and poor resource planning. Cloud-based solutions dynamically process vast logistics data, allowing real-time monitoring of transportation, inventory, and supplier performance. This improves efficiency by identifying bottlenecks, streamlining routes, and predicting disruptions. AI-powered analytics also enables demand forecasting, warehouse optimization, and automated strategic decisions. Moreover, cloud-based platforms integrate data from suppliers, distributors, and logistics providers, enhancing collaboration, reducing communication gaps, and improving regulatory compliance. Security and scalability further drive adoption, with cloud providers offering encryption, access controls, and real-time threat detection. Flexible cloud infrastructure allows businesses to scale analytics based on demand, cutting infrastructure costs while maintaining high performance. In summary, cloud-based analytics offers real-time insights, predictive capabilities, collaboration, and secure scalability, helping firms improve efficiency, reduce risks, and stay competitive in global supply chains.
