GateHouse Logistics proposes Bill of Rights for Hauliers
Data sharing is instrumental to the success of the coming Industry 4.0 revolution, therefore clear rules for all involved in the supply chain must be established.
Within its remit to unify telematics data distribution in the logistics industry, GateHouse Logistics today proposes a Bill of Rights for Hauliers to help them overcome any concerns about sharing telematics data with shippers. The firm sees data sharing as instrumental to the success of the coming Industry 4.0 revolution and clear rules for all involved in the supply chain must be established.
The Bill of Rights aims to encourage hauliers (defined as data providers in the Bill of Rights) to share telematics data with third parties and end-customers (defined as data subscribers) as standard operational practice and protect their commercial interests in the process.
The logistics industry is moving into the always-connected era and sharing tracking data of vehicles in the supply chain is now essential to all involved, says Jesper Bennike, CEO GateHouse Logistics. As an independent data aggregator, GateHouse Logistics believes this Bill of Rights if adopted by the supply chain will help overcome the commercial concerns of hauliers in sharing data about tours.
GateHouse Logistics will be discussing the proposed Bill of Rights with its peers and hauliers visiting its booth at a number of industry-facing events this year including the Transport Logistics exhibition in Munich, Germany (May 9 12).
