Top 5 reasons LumApps should be your transportation and logistics intranet

Everyone – and everything – is on the move. The demand to get people and goods across an increasingly connected planet is propelling the logistics and transportation industries forward, with the World Economic Forum projecting profits to surpass $18 trillion by 2030.
The bigger picture is promising, but the day-to-day of running a successful operation comes with complex commercial, internal, and regulatory pressures. 

The good news is that 84% of logistics and transportation companies that adopt the right technology increase their efficiency, and nearly 77% enhance employee productivity. So, what’s the right tech for a successful digital transformation? At its core, it’s about people.

When industry leaders listen to their employees and give them autonomy, they enable a profitable future. Forbes talks about “dynamic linking,” an exciting shift from outdated, top-down communication models. This is where LumApps comes in. Our AI-powered intranet solutions empower companies to create dynamic, personalized hubs for a global workforce.

Here are the top 5 reasons these companies chose LumApps for their intranet solution:

1. Unifying a global workforce 

Founded in 2011, Cabify is an innovative, carbon-neutral transportation company whose decentralized model hinges on robust internal comms. Cabify adopted LumApps as part of its tech transformation, unifying comms among its 3000+ employees across 85 countries. 

Research shows that substandard comms at work decrease productivity (40%), lengthen timelines (37%), and push costs up (32%). Creating an employee hub where staff and leadership can listen and be heard is a good strategic move.

Cabify’s employees dubbed its Lumapps-powered intranet Explora. It’s where our multi-site intranet capabilities empower participatory spaces for events and projects, for teams who need regular connectivity, and for employees with a shared interest. Simply put: a LumApps-powered intranet is each employee’s daily go-to dashboard.  

One major supply-chain solutions enterprise, FM Logistic, has over 150 community spaces powered by LumApps. This is where people connect and collaborate across the organization – with some hubs connecting upwards of 500 office and field workers to ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate.

2. Mobile App Access 

80% of the global workforce is on the frontline. The Transportation and Logistics sector in particular relies on field workers – making mobile-first a make-or-break factor. Despite this, most frontline workers don’t have access to their company’s collaboration suite. Here’s where LumApps helps. 

We connect all employees, even if they don’t have an internal account. That means every warehouse worker, truck driver, and delivery person is kept in the loop.

‍

Connectivity was the driving factor behind FM Logistic’s enterprise-wide transformation. When they created their digital workplace, powered by Google Workspace and LumApps, they made it accessible on all devices. Now, FM Logistic’s extensive deskless workforce can communicate and access company information in their preferred language. 

FM Logistic’s mobile app, Hello, was rolled out in under six months. With Hello right at their fingertips, FM Logistic employees can access the latest global and targeted local news, collaborate with peers, and seamlessly access all their work apps. Explore the must-have features of an employee mobile app. FM Logistic are not alone in their thinking. 74% of supply chain leaders are increasing their technology and innovation investments, with mobile high on the list.

3. AI-powered personalization

‍AI is on everyone’s lips. It’s not the answer to all business problems, but it is an exceptionally useful tool when it comes to personalization – a key element of successful comms. The LumApps Digital Assistant deploys AI to automate tedious tasks, tailor content recommendations, and enable text-to-speech conversion – which is especially useful for frontline workers who have their hands full.

‍

‍

Tailoring the interface and functionality to suit the needs of individual employees is central to FM Logistic’s intranet, and to any LumApps-powered employee journey, from onboarding to daily tasks. Cabify’s AI-powered intranet was designed so that their global workforce would actually use it: including site maps based on user needs and intuitive ways to communicate and share.  

When Cabify disseminates company-wide and localized information, notifications pop up on personalized digital dashboards, making sure nobody misses a beat. The LumApps customizable digital dashboard instantly connects employees to a 360° and profile-based view of the latest news, business-critical updates, and conversations, with easy access to all tools, docs, and community groups. 

‍

‍

For hybrid and field workers, checking a customizable digital dashboard give them a quick view of important team updates before getting on with their day. Personalization can make a huge difference: hybrid employees are 85% more likely to stay with a company when they feel supported by tech systems.

4. Seamless in-app learning 

When it comes to connecting with hybrid and field workers, a personal touch goes a long way. We kept dynamic connectivity in mind when we created LumApps Learning, with functionality to offer video training courses and gamified skill development to all employees on all devices. Imagine being able to upskill a worker who is thousands of miles away from head office and on their phone. This is a gamechanger for transportation and logistics. 

‍

‍

‍

When it comes to hiring and retaining qualified workers – no simple task in the transportation and logistics sectors – LumApps Learning charts personalized employee onboarding, training, and upskilling paths. For example, Cabify’s Campus leverages internal talent and knowledge on their LumApps-powered intranet. This is where employees learn and develop skills through online courses, events, and group participation that fits their schedules and workflow. 

‍

5. Empowered knowledge sharing
‍

Nearly half of digital workers can’t easily find the information or data they need to do their job well. Lack of organization slows people down, and over time, it chips away at the morale that underpins productivity and retention. 

LumApps elevates digital document management – from organizing critical information in centralized repositories to eliminating content graveyards with notifications alerting employees when a document is outdated or duplicated.

Easy, out-of-the-box API integration makes a LumApps-powered intranet secure for information storage, with admin/user controls and multi-device support. For FM Logistic and Cabify, direct access to Google Workspace tools via the intranet means employees can share docs and collaborate easily, reducing search time and information loss.

Beyond important daily tasks, knowledge sharing is a cornerstone of digital transformation. Read more about how knowledge sharing is central to new social and collaborative technologies.
