Challenges and Solutions
Before partnering with Cobit Solutions, Silkroad encountered several operational challenges. Managing a fleet of rented wagons without a dedicated tracking system led to inefficiencies and increased costs. They struggled to monitor wagon turnover rates, repair schedules, and financial transactions effectively. The absence of real-time data hindered their ability to make informed business decisions and optimize logistics processes.
Cobit Solutions stepped in with their expertise in data-driven solutions and Power BI capabilities. They developed a suite of customized dashboards that addressed Silkroad’s specific needs. These dashboards provided Silkroad with real-time insights into:
- Wagon Turnover Cycles:Â Tracking the number of trips each wagon completed, ensuring optimal utilization and profitability.
- Repair Management:Â Monitoring repair durations and costs, enabling Silkroad to minimize downtime and expenses.
- Financial Transactions:Â Offering a clear view of cash flow, including payments made and received, to streamline financial operations.
Cobit Solutions’ approach was not just about providing data but transforming it into actionable insights, allowing Silkroad to enhance their logistics strategies and operational efficiency.
