"E-commerce Assignment"KNIGHT IN SHINING TRUCKS
1. The inefficiencies of Knight before Fleeting View was installed were:- communication between truckers and their delivery sites are poor.
- the company often does not know which of its trailers is loaded and which is not.
- they often sends trucks with empty trailers long distances to pick up cargos, while there is an available trailer much closer to the location and that increases the need for more trailers than is actually necessary.
2. The information that managers have now are the information of the company by going to the company's web site, bring up the current record of each trailer, and have an instant view of where the trailers are and where they are moving.
3. The indicators of greater efficiency at Knight transportation now are:- they saved at least $1 million dollars in fuel alone since installation
- the carrier is able to dispatch its trucks on more efficient routes and reduce the need to drive around in search of an empty trailer
- the company's fleet operators spend 1 hour less daily trying to locate trailers
4.
5. As what was stated there that managers can already view their web site as a source in monitoring the happenings on their company, I think it could keep over competitors for long. They just have to maintain it and upgrade their system if needed because, as we can see nowadays computer technology rapidly grows.
