MANILA, Philippines - The enterprise arm of Smart Communications, Inc. has launched solutions intended to enable transport and logistics companies to automate their processes for improved operations. 

Smart Logistics Solutions, the new offering from Smart Enterprise, is a business-to-business suite of software and hardware specifically designed to cater to the needs of transportation, logistics and distribution industries. 

Eric Alberto, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) executive vice president and ePLDT president and chief executive officer, said the launch of Smart Enterprise’s new solutions is intended to allow small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to stay competitive through speedy and accurate delivery of services. 

“Through Smart Logistics Solutions, we will empower transport companies to enable prompt service, accurate tracking of assets, and access data by automating their business,” he said.

With Smart Logistics Solutions, SMEs in the transport and logistics business can do away with manual monitoring of assets, paper-based data gathering, and traditional reports by using mobile applications and solutions instead.

The new offering provides SMEs the following mobile applications and solutions: Smart Tracker, Smart Fleet, Smart E-ticketing and Smart Form. 

Smart Tracker is a solution that utilizes a global positioning system (GPS) to enable users to monitor their vehicle or field personnel’s location in real time in order to increase operational efficiency and ensure asset security.

Smart Fleet meanwhile, allows business to manage their vehicles including maintenance, dispatching, as well as obtaining driver data and reports. 

Smart E-ticketing handles scheduling and fares for transport companies. It manages and monitors admissions and retail from the head office while tracking real-time sales.

Smart Form is a digital way of tracking goods’ shipment that leverages the mobile technology and replaces the pen-and-paper system.
