Picture this – You need to look up for the top restaurants nearby but your hands are all dripping wet with mud, ok you aren’t mudding but gardening. Either you can get off and wash your hands or you could just use your device’s chatbot to answer the same.

Hey, Siri! Please find the top Italian restaurant near me!

Hi, Siri is looking for restaurants and they are –

The list pops up. Excellent, right?

AI Chatbot

In a nutshell, connecting and communicating seems a lot easier with computer-driven bots. And this is just one stance, there are plenty of chatbot development services that aim to steer engagement and likewise, enhance business processes.

However, one of the sectors that are seen to inoculate chatbot software development and corresponding services is the supply chain and logistics industry. However, they are being used in every important sector, such as retail and more. According to research, there has been a steady shift in the supply chain management processes given the onset of chatbot development. Nearly every the industry is pacing towards the integration of automated conversations leveraging the demand of Chatbot Development Company.

In a consensus put forward by Statista, the global market size of a chatbot is expected to cross USD 1.25 billion by the end of 2025.

For few, this might appear a board of jumbled figures, but the real players acknowledge the importance and are ready to blend in their existing infrastructure with Chatbot services. Having said that, it would not be of much surprise that the supply chain and logistics industry are now aiming to leverage the expertise of various chatbot development company and gain a cutting edge in the ever-growing technological industry.

But why? Have you wondered what is it that necessitates or obligates the industry to alter their work culture and redesign it on the whole?

The why behind the what?

Supply chain and logistics are all about inventory management and transportation. Till date, every such event was driven manually which is both costly and time-consuming. Whirling around for years, the industry today is one the verge of disruption and for good. This is what we term as Chatbot Revolution or the Conversational Bot Disruption.

  • Warehouses could automate the process of picking goods while streamlining the traditional method of finding goods based on trial and error basis. This in a way, enhances the overall proficiency of the system.
  • GPS integration of vehicles would help managers keep an eye on the delivery schedule and at the same time, stay informed on the fuel efficiency.
  • Integration of driver fewer vehicles and robots have the potential to save last-minute transportation costs.
  • Inbuilt IoT devices and corresponding sensors can track external conditions that might be fatal for the dispatched goods. For instance, if the items to be delivered are vulnerable to temperature changes, these sensors would send alerts and notify the concerned person in case of adverse conditions. This further reduces the possibility of loss and damage.

Whether you consider operations at the customer end of the management side, Chatbot development is a boon to the industry.

How Chatbots Affect Various Supply Chain Operations?

Supply Chain Operations

  • Tracking order progress
  • Updating on the delayed or canceled orders
  • Aligning demand with supply to process orders in real-time

Warehouse Management

  • Keep track of inventory
  • Schedule delivery as per the request
  • Tracking order information
  • Updating warehouse locations

Fleet Information

  • Knowing about the vehicles in transit
  • Staying informed on the overall maintenance, idle or out of order.
  • Take the necessary steps in case vehicle breakdown.

Personal Information

  • Keep track of employee information

Advantages of Chatbot

Streamlining tasks and day to day activities through computer-driven bots, Chatbot Development has hit the industry by storm.

Additionally, the technology is backed by artificial intelligence, which further promotes conversations in real-time. Needless to state that such extent of automation would overcome the daunting challenge of the industry, which is nothing but to keep the user updated in real-time.

Keeping aside all theoretical verdicts, let’s see how to do the technology benefits the supply chain industry and how having a chatbot app quicken the management process –

  • Improvise Productivity In Real-time

This enables them to focus on other essential tasks and hence, work towards better performance.

  • Manifest Automation
  • From picking up products to updating the software, scheduling delivery to notify on the breakdown, chatbots cater to all. The industry no longer needs to employee human power to do all. Instead, employ smart bots which can perform the same tasks with higher precision in lesser possible time while reducing the possibility of error, which is higher in case of manually driven operations.

  • Improve Customer Engagement
  • Considering the fact that Chatbots can initiate customer conversations, gain insights about the issues, and further assist them as required, they are way better in coordination as compared to humans. Also, these are computer-generated bots and so available 24/7 – meaning that users no longer need to wait after putting up a request.

  • Cost-Effective
  • One of the most important and eye-catching benefits of chatbot development is the reduction in the overall cost of maintenance and operations. By replacing basic human work with chatbot development services, managers can assign important tasks to employees, and likewise, save cost. Also, the fact that chatbots notify on vehicle breakdown long before the event occurs cuts down damage cost.
