Big Data Analytics will be our key differentiator and give tremendous competitive advantage by virtue of driving real-time business decision based on various predicative models, route optimization algorithms, storage optimization algorithms and machine-learning techniques. Finally, we will build online, real-time dashboards based on live geo-maps, live video feeds, goods movement, (super-imposed with corresponding financial information, inventory data, employee data etc...) to not only keep management in control of the business,but also to make customers feel fully empowered. Thus establishing complete transparency in the entire business ecosystem.
