About
Pacific International Lines (PIL) is one of the largest shipping companies in Asia, operating a modern fleet of container vessels and providing logistics-related services worldwide. With decades of experience, the company has built a reputation for reliability and scale, but the rapid evolution of global trade and digital expectations demanded a new level of operational transparency.
Business Challenges
Despite its strong position in the shipping industry, PIL faced growing challenges:
- Lack of end-to-end visibility across shipments, making it hard to monitor container locations in real time.
- Inefficient manual processes, leading to delays in tracking and reporting.
- Increasing customer demands for transparency and proactive shipment updates.
- Risk of losses from misplaced cargo, delays, or unauthorized container handling.
- Compliance requirements with international trade and customs regulations.
PIL needed a digital-first approach to modernize its supply chain management, ensuring greater visibility and reliability.
Solution
We implemented a comprehensive supply chain track and trace solution powered by IoT (Internet of Things) and real-time analytics.
Key solution features included:
- IoT-enabled sensors installed on containers to capture location, temperature, and handling data.
- Cloud-based platform integrating all shipment data for centralized visibility.
- Automated alerts and notifications to flag delays, route deviations, or mishandling.
- AI-driven predictive analytics to forecast delivery times and optimize shipping routes.
- Customer-facing dashboards allowing clients to track shipments directly.
This transformed PIL’s supply chain into a digitally connected ecosystem.
