Locus is a dispatch management and customer experience platform founded in 2015 to turn logistics operations from cost centres into growth centres. The business has collaborated with more than 300 businesses in more than 30 countries, including the Middle East, ANZ, Southeast Asia, North America, and the Indian subcontinent, under Nishith’s direction. With a 99.5% SLA adherence rate, Locus has enabled its clients to complete over 850 million deliveries, recoup $275 million in transit expenses, and offset 10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
ShipFlex, Transporter Management, and Hub Operations modules, three of Locus’s ground-breaking products, will further cement the company’s leadership in logistics innovation in 2023. With the correct shippers, ShipFlex enables carriers to expand their fulfilment operations. Shippers and transporters can see quotes, use intelligent order allocation, and facilitate smooth reconciliations with the help of the Transporter Management module. The Hub Operations module dramatically increases efficiency and lowers operating costs at logistics hubs by automating critical functions.
One notable project is the Locus Last-Mile Maturity Assessment. Businesses have found it helpful in pinpointing areas for operational enhancement, which has improved productivity, reduced expenses, and improved customer experiences.
