Frequently asked questions

What is Industry 4.0?

Industry 4.0 is kind of a buzz term that’s out there, and everyone’s got their own definitions. As a thought leader in the South African logistics industry, Waldo eloquently explains the term “Industry 4.0”.

Industry 4.0 is a broad term, it defines the revolution of “How Things Are Made” and “How Things Are Done”. For some it means, the Internet of things (IoT), for others it translates to manufacturing automation, which is still technically Industry 3.0, but Waldo defines it as:

“Using technology, to enable people to come as close to 100% efficient, safe, and purposeful operations as possible. The GIG economy, which consists of companies like Uber, Air BnB, Freelancer, all of whom are great examples of companies that have gotten the GIG economy side of things right, and that ties quite nicely into the Industry 4.0 mantra. A question that continually pops up in my mind and I would like to ask our readers is “What does the end state of industry 4.0 look like?” “If we had to play-out this scenario at the end of 4.0, does this mean that everything is automated, everything is run by AI?”

How can your Vantage services save us costs?

Focus areas for cost saving are dependent on the business under scrutiny, as well as the quality and volume of fleet data maintained by the business.

Our Vantage Core Solution gives visibility of per kilometre or per minute revenue vs cost. By focusing on metrics such as kilometers driven, time spent at stops, unscheduled stop events, driver overtime and speeding occurrences on route, we have proven cost savings across the board. We have the ability to develop bespoke features based on your unique requirements, for example: Your vehicle capacity and attributes are always taken into account to ensure we never plan for overloading capacity or misalignment between site and vehicle attributes. These custom attributes include; Frozen Goods on Refrigerated Trucks / Trailers, loading versus unloading equipment requirements and many more.

How do you use our information?

The consolidation and integration of your information into an “all-in-one-view” system leads to more meaningful reporting and insights, it ensures that the same data is available across the business, and increases your ROI. Consolidation of information from 3rd party systems is critical in the enablement of a holistic business view.
