PLDT SME Nation is ramping up its support for the local logistics and forwarding industries by bringing innovative digital solutions to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) nationwide.

Since the month of May, the MSME arm of the country’s leading telecommunications company has been taking on regional areas, providing a specifically designed business-to-business (B2B) suite of software and hardware that fully accommodates the needs of industries that specialize in transportation, forwarding, and distribution.

In its most recent effort to empower MSMEs in the transport industries, PLDT SME Nation presented the Smart Tracker Solution to business owners in Iloilo.

The Smart Tracker solution utilizes a GPS tracking system to enable users to monitor their vehicle or field force personnel’s location in real time through an easy-to-use web interface. This solution helps MSMEs increase operational productivity and ensure asset security via continuous tracking reports at the business owner’s convenience.

Smart Tracker forms part of a suite of industry-specific solutions known as the Smart Logistics Solutions that address the need to increase and improve efficiency within a business. Other mobile applications that comprise this suite include fleet management, e-ticketing systems, and digital proof of delivery for logistics and distribution.

With the Smart Logistics Solutions, MSMEs are equipped with mobile applications and solutions that eliminate the need for manual monitoring of assets, traditional written reports, and other paper-based data gathering, allowing businesses the opportunity to control overhead costs and output of their personnel, while adding value to their customers’ experiences.
