The trend of logistics and supply chain management as a competitive weapon, as opposed to a series of seemingly disparate functional cost centers, is driving change in how these functions are managed and operated. The global logistics industry is transforming alongside developments in the latest digital technologies—IoT, telematics, mobile, cloud, and open systems. With the digital boom on one side, the CIOs in logistics arena are facing conflicting issues stemming primarily by increased interest in logistics management and latest technology developments. Logistics companies are looking to harness information acquired through digital technologies to streamline business operations—asset tracking, fleet management, maintenance scheduling, and dispatching. Pedigree Technologies, headquartered in Fargo, ND, improves customers’ ability to easily and dynamically manage their people and operating environments in an increasingly complex, interconnected, and real-time life. “We are building solutions that leverage the complexity of current technology trends into simple-to-use tools that can create competitive advantages and big efficiencies,” says Wade Wilson, CEO, Pedigree Technologies.

The success factor for most logistics operations is dependent upon coordination between workers, assets, and equipment to meet ever increasing customer demands. Pedigree Technologies’ flagship SaaS-based OneView platform, an asset intensive service chain solution, allows customers to have integrated information on a single solution. OneView manages entire field of operations with capabilities that include asset tracking, dispatching, work order management, and proactive maintenance. The solution tracks, diagnoses, and communicates with all highvalue assets and enhances operational data visibility enabling proactiveness, and supply chain alignment. For instance—companies, along with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), are able to monitor and track the location of equipment throughout their supply chain enhancing real time visibility into current inventory and sales. Additionally, they can monitor equipment behavior, track the failure points, and react more quickly by fixing a design issue or manufacturing-line problem. Furthermore, Pedigree Technologies offers a diagnostic package with CAN Bus integration to auxiliary sensors, and extended applications whereby customers can monitor their equipment for real time issues.
