Smartlog joins hands with FPT Cloud to remove bottlenecks in Vietnamese supply chain management

(Dan Tri) - Vietnamese technology ecosystem from Smartlog and FPT Cloud helps businesses increase data processing speed, reduce supply chain operating costs, and promote competitiveness.

A decade of building core solutions developed by Vietnamese businesses

According to the Vietnam Logistics Service Business Association, domestic logistics costs are currently 10-11% higher than the average of developed countries.

As noted by Smartlog Supply Chain Solutions Joint Stock Company, traditional operations can take businesses 5-10 minutes to coordinate a trip, more than 30 calls per day to look up the location of goods and up to 5 days for a freight reconciliation cycle. These bottlenecks increase manual operations and limit real-time control.

Since 2015, amid doubts about the ability of Vietnamese businesses to be autonomous in logistics technology, Smartlog has been steadfast in developing core solutions developed by Vietnamese businesses closely following actual operations.

After more than a decade, Smartlog has owned a connected ecosystem from planning, execution to supply chain optimization, with increasingly more advanced AI applications and algorithms.

Smartlog continuously upgrades technology depth with Supply Chain Planning (SSCP) solutions, helping businesses increase forecasting capacity, resource allocation and accurate planning.

With more than 200 domestic and foreign businesses trusting and choosing, Smartlog's total operating warehouse area exceeds 5 million m² with more than 24,000 means of transport operating continuously.

Smartlog is expanding its branches to India with operating networks in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, South Africa and Japan, affirming its position as a strategic digital transformation partner for many multinational corporations.

Synergize the power of cloud infrastructure for big data problems

When expanding into international markets, the volume of data generated in real time increases exponentially, requiring an information technology infrastructure platform that excels in both processing capacity and stability. To meet this requirement, Smartlog chose FPT Cloud - a new generation cloud computing platform according to international standards owned by FPT Corporation.

Not only providing storage infrastructure, FPT Cloud also directly participates with the Smartlog engineer team to restructure the system architecture and refine transport coordination algorithms. This resonance brings clear progress, measured and evaluated with practical effective numbers for shippers and transport units.

Thanks to flexible computing power, the time to plan route division and load pairing is reduced from several hours to just a few minutes, cutting down up to 80% of manual operations. Complex tasks such as load calculation, vehicle loading, route assignment and document reconciliation are all handled immediately, freeing personnel from repetitive tasks to focus on improving service quality.

The time for checking and finalizing freight between shippers and transport units is shortened, minimizing data errors and optimizing working cash flow for businesses.

Thanks to the data center system located right in Vietnam, the transmission line always maintains continuity and stability. Features that require large bandwidth such as simulating 3D yard diagrams or instantly tracking vehicle positioning all operate smoothly with high accuracy.

FPT Cloud's high-performance computing infrastructure also creates an ideal environment for Smartlog to strongly transition to an AI-Native model. Advanced tools such as Automatic Route Planning and Smart AI Control Tower help bus operators calculate the shortest route, reduce the rate of empty return trips and save 10% to 15% of total logistics costs.

The automatic resource expansion mechanism helps the system withstand shopping peaks without worrying about network congestion, while also optimizing information technology investment costs.

Assessing the modern management problem, Mr. Kurt Binh - Founder and CEO of Smartlog - emphasized: "The core problem of businesses in today's volatile period is the ability to optimize costs and control risks based on data. Advances in the international market are a positive signal, but also require Smartlog to continuously improve according to the highest standards of data security, stability and scalability.

We will continue to deeply research the specifics of each market, improve internal capabilities and closely associate with technology partners such as FPT Cloud so that the solution perfectly meets the needs of global businesses."

As for FPT Cloud, the unit is committed to maintaining a safe, flexible cloud computing platform that meets strict international security standards to help Vietnamese software businesses remove infrastructure barriers and focus on creating core values.

The handshake between Smartlog and FPT Cloud not only brings a practical solution to the problem of optimizing logistics costs in Vietnam, but is also a clear demonstration of the ability of Vietnamese people to master technology on the journey to reach the ocean and contribute to the goal of national digital economic development.
