ONE Solutions

The majority of logistics players are small-scale enterprises. While they contribute to the information deficit, they can't invest in connecting to all platforms, they require plug and play solutions.

Inspiration

Improving information availability, traceability and collaboration between supply chain actors are key success factors for a more sustainable and cost-efficient cargo industry.

The availability, diversity, and interoperability of information among supply chain actors are persistent challenges that require resolution through the implementation of standards like ONE Record.

Moreover, the majority of logistics players are small-scale enterprises. While they contribute significantly to the information deficit, they are unable to invest in adapting to every individual information request. What they require are plug-and-play solutions.

What it does

With "ONE Soltions", we aim to showcase our ability to effectively manage a multimodal supply chain by providing planning and execution visibility to all stakeholders involved, utilising interoperable industry standards like ONE Record and GEODIS Shared Data Language.

A particular emphasis will be placed on ground handling processes, which will be streamlined through the adoption of standards and integration with the global supply chain.

To facilitate this, we will develop a user-friendly mobile application specifically designed for small ground handlers, eliminating the need for any additional development on their part, in order to be connected to other logistics parties. We will also show a “Forwarder” view of the whole logistic chain operations, with all sub-contracting levels, track and trace events, and links to these data owned by different actors.

How we built it

Our ONE Solutions are fully enabled by the adoption of interoperable communication standards by the actors of the supply chain.

We deployed a NE:ONE ONE Record platform and integrated it with a GEODIS Shared Data Language Platform, thanks to real time notification APIs. Our GEODIS Shared Data Language Platform is also connected to a Kuzzle IoT Platform, to manage IoT Data and also capable of automatically triggering Events and Actions based on Geofencing.

We demonstrated that interoperability between 2 platforms is possible, and that it could be extended the same way to other FEDeRATED platforms.

Challenges we ran into

  • Building a realistic end-to-end and replayable scenario with consistent data, dates, and events, in 2 different systems
  • Building applications targeting 3 different actors

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We are showcasing 3 different point-of-views (Forwarder, ground handler and delivery trucker)
  • We used innovative ways to display the data
  • Our app is mostly bug-free
  • Every technical part of our application (GEODIS SDL Core Engine, NE:ONE, Kuzzle IoT Platform, Zitadel identity provider) is automatically deployed and accessible on the onerecord.fr domain.

What we learned

  • Interoperability is key for the future of the Cargo industry, as it's the main factor that will streamline the knowledge transfer between every single stakeholder in a multimodal transport scenario.
  • We demonstrated that interoperability between 2 platforms is possible, and that it could be extended the same way to other FEDeRATED platforms.

What's next for ONE Solutions

The applications could have much more advanced features in the future, and we believe it would be completely relevant in order to equip ground handlers, leading to an improvement in the tracking data quality and frequency, potentially helping to detect and prevent any kind of exception.

Why not continue developing this application and make it production ready?
