The incident of the Suez Canal blocked by the huge container ship - Ever Given, has caused an extremely severe impact on the global logistics industry. At the same time, this fact completely exposes the shortcomings in the customer service towards import and export businesses.

According to a recent report published by the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA), there have been more than 1.300 logistics companies in the country, and 80% of them indicate that improving customer service must be the top priority. However, almost all businesses have actually offered standard services, for example, freight transport, warehousing, freight forwarding, sorting, loading and unloading, packaging, storage management, etc. while other valuable services such as customer service have been maintained and expanded by only a few businesses.

Switchboards are busy for hours, or even days, which is a constant source of worry to import and export businesses that express deep concern about the position and safety of their million dollars cargo. This situation even worsens during peak periods such as seasonal events (discounts, new product launches, Tet holidays, etc.) or specific events (adverse weather, technical problems, etc.).

The issue of available time is also a limitation causing many difficulties for businesses whose orders need to be delivered to countries with time differences compared to Vietnam. In fact, the switchboard operates a fixed work schedule,  from 07:00 a.m to 09:00 p.m, and it is automatically in a state of "rest" if there are any incoming calls outside the working hours.

The fact that more and more foreign businesses have been entering the Vietnamese market has also raised a considerable concern - language barriers. The almost only language currently used at the customer center is Vietnamese, which brings a lot of communication problems for foreign import and export businesses.

Consequently, in order to be proactive in updating information, tracking the goods, and checking the container route, manufacturing enterprises and import and export companies need to equip themselves with a tracing and tracking system to reduce the damaging impact from forwarders.

Currently, Tracking - Cargo is one of the outstanding tracing and tracking tools applied with the most advanced innovations in industry 4.0 technology.
