GFF vs. Project Setup in BLU4U – Supply Chain visibility for all types of cargos
Our BLU4U platform is designed to fulfil a wide range of business requirements, providing a reliable and efficient tracking system for managing shipments, purchase orders (POs), and complex logistics projects.
With BLU4U, we have a truly flexible approach which meets the tracking requirements of all our customers. We have a GFF setup, but also one for projects.
For projects our customers usually have specific requirements, such as additional features or specific KPIs. As part of these project setups, we make a further distinction between a shipment setup and a release setup. From ad hoc shipments to project logistics, BLU4U default setup offers a range of functions to streamline supply chain operations. Our search parameters, such as purchase order numbers, MMT/SCN numbers, and release setups, ensure that you find information in a fast, easy and reliable manner.
DEFAULT SEARCH PARAMETERS IN THE DIFFERENT SETUPS:
PO based search parameters:
Take control of your supply chain. From real-time shipment tracking to complete supply chain visibility, our BLU4U platform ensures efficiency, transparency, and confidence in every link.
Shipment based search parameters:
SHIPMENT BASED SETUP
For standardized cargo our GFF approach is the right setup in BLU4U. It gives customers the option to search for cargo references, such as container numbers, or using our shipment number to obtain the latest updates on your shipment.
Whether by air, sea or road, all transport related data are presented in a user-friendly way.
Our shipment status reports give customers an easy overview of the status of all your shipments.
Our shipment-based dashboard give the customers easy oversight of their shipments.
- 360 Degree Shipment Insights
- Shipments per Transport Mode
- Shipments per Status
- Shipment Volume per Month per Transport Mode
- Average Transit Time per Month
- Average Transit Time per Country of Origin
PROJECT BASED SETUP
Projects are usually more individualized. Many customers handle transports based on releases and purchase orders. Purchase orders, purchase order line items, releases and shipments are then connected to each other.
Projects require detailed planning and coordination, and every project is unique. For this reason, we propose highly customized setups to our customers.
Features like our tracking capabilities, reporting and dashboards are well known and always part of our project setup. But there are also special requirements, which we can fit into the project setups. Examples that we implemented for projects that we do not have in our default setup are:
- Supplier Performance Dashboard
- Financial Dashboard
- Cost/Time/Resource Approval
- New KPIs for the Dashboard (e.g. transit time per port pair)
- Export Requests
- and many more.
With Besitec, our own IT company, we make sure that our customers’ requirements are always considered and that they have the right tools at hand for full supply chain visibility.
