Control tower platform pivotal tool in navigating changes

For the past ten years, we've dedicated ourselves to enhancing and offering our Simacan platform. We focus on promoting sustainable, efficient and customer-oriented distribution in retail and e-commerce. Our platform seamlessly integrates with the primary logistics processes and systems of our customers, their clients, and supply chain partners. Our primary focus has always been on the operational use of our platform. Empowering our customers to gain a competitive edge by continuously monitoring, refining and adapting their road-based distribution processes. But in addition, we have now discovered that a platform like ours can be an important tool in navigating changing processes.

Support for changing processes

Over the course of a decade of collaboration and growth with our customers, we've discovered that control tower platforms like ours can serve as pivotal tools in navigating organisational changes. This is partly because a platform like ours, which can be thought of as a spider in a complex web, needs to handle many different types of connections. Thanks in part to OTM5, an open source data sharing model, we can integrate seamlessly with a variety of systems and processes.
We have seen clients successfully make the transition from strategic planning and systems to centralised distribution models. As well as integrating entirely new operations following mergers or acquisitions.

Control tower platform as a switching point

The control tower platform is meticulously designed to manage and relay data among multiple stakeholders. Consolidating diverse planning formats, data from various fleet management systems, and user communications into a unified dataset for monitoring and control. This unique approach positions our platform as a versatile 'switching point': facilitating the seamless coexistence of ‘old’ and new processes during migration. Allowing for a gradual rollout without disrupting daily operations.

In essence, the dynamics of organisations are constant. Whether implementing new systems, mergers, acquisitions, or other changes, the need for fluidity and efficiency remains crucial. That's why Simacan serves as an indispensable tool for organisations embracing these changes. Thanks to our seamless integration and careful data management, we facilitate a smooth transition and optimise operational processes for maximum efficiency.
