Transcosmos Unveils SmartTracking

In an effort to streamline logistics management, Transcosmos has released a new feature named SmartTracking for its innovative logistics DX solution, Trans-logiManager. Initially launched in October 2025, Trans-logiManager is crafted to assist logistics professionals in optimizing costs through advanced data analytics.

As industry compliance becomes increasingly vital, the addition of SmartTracking is aimed specifically at supporting Chief Logistics Officers (CLOs) in adhering to updated regulations, including the Motor Truck Transportation Business Act and the Act on the Advancement of Integration and Streamlining of Distribution Business. Designed to enhance logistics operational efficiency, the feature will be available starting June 2026.

Enhanced Features of Trans-logiManager SmartTracking

SmartTracking integrates seamlessly with the U Smartphone Fleet Management Service, developed by UPR Corporation based in Tokyo. This app empowers logistics personnel and drivers to gather vital information via their smartphones. This feature aggregates crucial data regarding working hours spent on various logistics activities such as loading, delivery, and waiting periods. The ability to visualize these intricate details enables CLOs to enhance operational decision-making and improve delivery performance.

The enhanced functionalities of SmartTracking include:
1. Comprehensive Visualization: By linking the smartphone's GPS with berth reservation systems at various locations, SmartTracking allows for detailed visualizations of the time drivers spend on delivery, standby, and loading activities. This provides insights into the correlation between berth reservation times and actual operational efficiency.
2. Mobile Management: The app facilitates the management of loading, unloading, and ancillary tasks directly from smartphones, streamlining workflows. Users can store recorded data on a cloud server for easy access and visualization.
3. AI-Powered Efficiency: Utilizing AI, the feature automatically identifies pallet types and numbers, and evaluates loading efficiency using images captured by the smartphone's camera. This results in an automatic collection of loading-efficiency metrics, making it easier to assess productivity.
4. Detailed Reporting: SmartTracking generates category-specific reports including trends in collected hours, shipping addresses, and logistics vendor performance. Such reporting is invaluable for clients seeking to pinpoint areas for improvement in their logistics operations.

The Impact of SmartTracking on Logistics Operations

The introduction of SmartTracking represents a significant leap forward in the collection and analysis of frontline logistics data. By visualizing logistics operations that were once challenging to monitor, the feature enhances the overall understanding of logistical processes. With data at their fingertips, users can compile insights necessary for regular reporting, medium- to long-term planning, and periodic assessments.
