The current labor shortage affects all industries, but none more so than the eCommerce fulfillment and trucking industries. E-commerce companies struggle to find workers to handle the ever-growing demand for package shipping. The driver shortage in the trucking industry also feels the squeeze, as they can't find commercial drivers to transport goods across the country. 

The Supply Chain does not experience its best times. In this situation, a small detail can cause the butterfly effect, for better or for worse. That’s why Logmore works hard on increasing the chances of Supply Chain to survive this crisis by implementing several new features.

When we started in 2017, we aimed to remove the uncertainty from the world’s supply chains. Over 10 million euros of funding, 50 hires, and a pandemic later, the vision lives. This is the story of global supply chains becoming transparent, sustainable, and efficient. This is how every product comes to tell its story.

Santeri Kaasalainen, the Lead Software Architect of Logmore, explains why we use the tech we use.

In this blog post, we’d like to touch on the cosmetics industry and its relationship with shipping and supply chain logistics. While there are a variety of industries we service, we think cosmetic companies face some significant interesting challenges. With various product offerings, numerous colours and shades, liquid and solid compounds, exclusive yet sensitive ingredients, and more, cosmetics logistics in itself is truly unique in its own right. On one hand, new and innovative products that spark new global trends make companies take a closer look at their supply chains. On the other hand, distributors need to transport products quickly in order to meet demand, especially to reach global markets.

Quality assurance is important in all software, but eCommerce, in particular, is a software industry that is driven by user experience.

COVID-19 obliterated major supply chains all over the world and thus the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine is going to be a challenging endeavour in every sense of the word.

Finland is known for high quality products and life quality. Even here, in the most populated areas, it takes the fish three to four days on average to reach the market after it has been caught. By the time the consumer gets their hands on the fish, it might be a week old. At that point, it’s a stretch to call it “fresh”. The lack of freshness and long time from sea to your plate are reasons for low quality fish. According to recent research, a quarter of fish samples taken from “fresh” fish are of low quality. The sad thing is that the results have not improved in over a decade.

Logmore is looking forward to large orders in 2021, as inquiries on the solution increase all over the world.

The QR logging device gave an alert on cold chain breach, giving staff an hour to prepare the doses and six hours to find the people to receive them.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt. To ever go back to normal, the world needs a reliable vaccine. Vaccine development is ready, but the real challenge is safe, global distribution. 

Dry ice is meant to store goods that require very cold or frozen temperatures. Medical supplies, gases, frozen food, vaccines, etc. are some of the common things that are used with dry ice when transporting or shipping. Once you or a shipping team has decided to use dry ice as a cooling agent in logistics, here are the steps that must be followed.

All vaccines must be stored within a specific safe temperature range. That’s where vaccine cold chain monitoring comes into play. The chain starts from the time when the vaccine is being manufactured and ends to the point where the customer receives it. 

‍Any business involved in logistics or the transportation of cool or cold goods understands the major need for temperature control in freight. Trucks, boats, trains, and other means of mass transportation have to be specially modified to prevent perishable goods from shipping damages. Thermal boxes can be incredibly helpful tools to use for cold chain management. But what exactly are they, and what exactly is cold chain management?

Medicine, meat, flowers, and all goods that require temperature control have one thing in common; they all are monitored during transport to make sure they are fresh and in usable condition. That’s the first glimpse into the concept we are discussing today, temperature monitoring systems in logistics. You’ll learn the basics of a temperature monitoring system, what to look for in choosing a system, and how it can solve logistical problems. First, we’ll jump in by answering the most basic question: What is a temperature monitoring system?

An effective logistics strategy can create momentum for an organisation in many ways. From propelling local sales, to driving exports and creating opportunities in new markets throughout the world. Cold chain logistics managers have the same opportunities, but a myriad of other unique requirements to consider and satisfy.

How did you like that steak you had at the restaurant last weekend? Did your toddler get that measles vaccine? Do you love to wake up to the smell of fresh roses on the bedside table? Meat, vaccines, freshly-cut flowers, and more have one thing in common – they all require refrigerated transport to get to you in unspoiled or usable condition. This is where the concept of cold chain management comes into play.
