ZEBRA A Paradigm Shift in Logistics Efficiencies User Guide
A Paradigm Shift in Logistics Efficiencies
Blue Dart successfully addresses its operational challenges and achieves
greater accuracy, efficiency and customer satisfaction with the help of
Zebra’s mobile computers, scanners and services.
Blue Dart is a leading integrated transportation, logistics and distribution
company that offers secure and reliable delivery of consignments to over
55,400 locations in India.
With DHL, Blue Dart features one of the most comprehensive express and
logistics networks worldwide and is instrumental in connecting businesses and
individuals to ensure timely and secure transportation of packages and
documents.
Blue Dart’s well-defined position as one of the nation’s most innovative and
awarded express logistics companies reflects its market leadership through
reliability, superior brand experience and sustainability.
The Need for an Upgrade
In its pursuit to deliver unmatched standards of service quality to its customers, Blue Dart faced a significant challenge in capturing field data and relaying package or document status on its portals for end-customers. With large volumes of daily shipments, it was crucial for Blue Dart to maintain accurate and real-time information on the status and whereabouts of each consignment.
Blue Dart relied on outdated scanners based on legacy technology and manual
data entry processes, which limited the company’s tracking capabilities and
created significant inefficiencies and operational delays. The premier
logistics provider recognized the need to streamline its operations and
improve efficiencies to stay competitive in the market.
The company required innovative solutions to address these challenges and
optimize its logistics processes. Moreover, Blue Dart needed to automate data
entry and streamline its in-house operations, pickup services and logistics
management.
A Smooth Transition
Blue Dart collaborated with Zebra Technologies to implement a range of innovative and easy-to-use solutions. The company selected TC57 mobile computers for field deliveries, in-house operations, and pickups. Zebra RS5100 ring scanners and DS2278 cordless handheld barcode scanners were chosen to streamline package loading and unloading operations at Blue Dart hubs, while MC33xx series mobile computers optimized in-house hub operations. These devices seamlessly integrated with Blue Dart’s back-end portal and allowed for quick and accurate data capture, along with real-time updates.
Zebra also offered a complete managed services solution that included Mobile Device Management (MDM), VisibilityIQ Foresight (VIQF), battery replenishment, Zebra OneCare, change management and integration services. This coupled with Zebra Professional services played a crucial role in consultative and technical support and ensured a smooth transition to the new solution.
VIQF provides Blue Dart with instant visibility about its devices and ensures they are working when and where it needs them. VIQF intelligently combines data and translates the information into a color-coded, one-view solution that provides actionable insight and device status alerts.
Digital-First Logistics and Enhanced Customer
Experience
Before introducing Zebra’s solutions, Blue Dart had to rely on manual data entry, which was time-consuming and prone to human errors. By automating its processes, Blue Dart saw improvements in operational efficiency and allowed its workforce to focus on core tasks and reduce turnaround times. The company also gained access to real-time information at the point of activity. Zebra’s solutions were customized to suit Blue Dart’s diverse services, including domestic and international shipments, dangerous goods and e-commerce.
Another significant benefit derived from Zebra’s collaboration was the increased level of customer satisfaction. By utilizing Zebra’s solutions, Blue Dart was able to provide enhanced efficiency and accurate tracking information to its customers. The real-time tracking feature empowered Blue Dart’s customers to closely monitor the progress of their shipments, thus fostering improved transparency and trust in the company’s services. As a result, customer satisfaction levels soared, further solidifying Blue Dart’s reputation as a reliable and customer-centric logistics provider.
Future Possibilities
Blue Dart’s collaboration with Zebra has spanned over a decade and has paved the way for a promising future. Blue Dart plans to continue to make data- driven decisions and deliver exceptional and seamless logistics-related services to its customers.
