Transport and logistics companies need to be able to transfer data internally and externally to partners. This process requires efficiency and accuracy. Organisations may struggle if they have multiple systems in place, each requiring its own maintenance.
As a result, the supply chain of manufacturing through to delivery is impacted. Transport communication is also affected, leading to unsatisfactory customer experience.
Here, you’ll see a range of use cases that demonstrate how managed file transfer, automation and integration support security and compliance, whilst driving business efficiency and enabling a better customer experience.

Transport and logistics services solution stories
Here are some of the ways we could help youOrders generate files, the customer is identified, the file is processed and the correctly loaded truck departs at the right time. Many organisations still use multiple scripts and tools for this process, which is time-consuming and makes error handling challenging.
MFT exchanges the data securely and logs it flawlessly. This gives greater visibility in tracking and auditing missing or incorrect orders. Retailers and customers are kept updated through each stage of the delivery process.
Ticket sales are monitored within the public transport sector. Remote agents are used to track the movement of ticket data between trains and buses. This gives an overview of when the train or bus is at full capacity. Traffic and route information is also processed through remote agents to help keep public transport running efficiently.

An airport needs to exchange flight and luggage information, data related to the gate, aircraft loading information and more. The flight captain, cabin crew and passengers need to know this too.
MFT consolidates data from multiple systems from airlines in different continents and countries. Automation centralises this information, giving administrators a single-pane-of-glass view of all the data.
Use cases by department
Saving time and resource to improve efficiencySecure remote working is increasingly important post-COVID. Secure file transfer and collaboration functionality allows staff to have secure remote access to company files and work collaboratively on the same version. It also allows them to transfer files securely outside the organisations, without resorting to insecure, consumer grade apps to share files. All exchanges remaining in-line with the company security policy.
System-to-person automation can send and audit the secure distribution of HR documents, including contracts.
In fact, HR departments can deliver the complete employee onboarding process with both front and back end system automation. This removes manual steps and improves accuracy. For example, the employee or HR contact can fill in a configurable web form, which includes e-signing and dating. Then this can automatically be exported as a pdf contract and stored in the repository. Next a fully automated user provisioning workflow can be executed, setting up access and logins for in systems like ActiveDirectory and ERP, emailing the user their login credentials.
Marketing teams regularly share large image or video files, which are too big for email. They often resorting to risky consumer grade, insecure file sharing apps.
A controlled file sharing environment can easily integrate with existing email infrastructure, allowing users to share large files. There are additional security controls, administrative access and visibility of all transfers. Permissions can be set in line with data access policies so that staff only access the data they need in order to do their job.
