Breaking the Shackles –
A New Look of the Indian Logistic Industry
ver thought about the aspects of having a stunning packaging? Broadly, segregated in two segments – protection and
Eshipment. Safeguarding a material from accidental damage, thefts or even tampering along transporting the products
within the nation or across the shores are the ultimate objectives for the providers.
Taking a closer look at the logistics industry gives the impression that the industry has transformed in every single way! Now,
it is more about showcasing the jubilant face of the industry. Exploring the evolution of the Indian logistics industry is

by each passing day. Traditional norms and practices are replaced with innovative business models and technical
advancements. Growing customized demands have forced the providers to look out for solutions that are ultimately
transforming the entire ball-game of the logistics industry.
While the initial years of the industry faced fragmentation, over the last few decades it has gained noticeable momentum. The
industry employs more than twenty-two million people, India slowly but steadily surges ahead in the global rankings in terms
of overall logistics performance.
Looking forward, few challenges have to be worked upon collectively, alongside embracing the innovative trends, latest
norms, and technologies at the micro-level. Facilitating better credit-flow with longer tenures, construction of multi-modal
logistics parks across the key locations, integration of various fragmented resources are some of the points.
Apart from the few established players, the majority of the logistics solution providers are small or medium-based
companies. This highlights the urgent need to embrace scientific and functional logistics components into the main sector.

Technology is the Way Forward!
Technology has played a leader’s role in transforming the
business platform across the globe and today its the
abundance of countless technologies that have made
traditional sectors like logistics to take the big shift. There
is a need to integrate the air cargo infrastructure.
Automation of the business processes paves path to achieve
the agility and scalability required to compete with time,
thereby increasing productivity, driving revenue growth and
breaking through the confinements of stereotypes. Business
automation is an essential component of the modern
enterprise in the contemporary era.
In this era of superlative automation, where services and
real-time information require only a touchscreen or a few
clicks, manual feeding of information and checking
shipment status on phone or e-mails looks primitive.
Technologies including big data, AI, Machine Learning
have the potential to make the air freight forwarding
cheaper, safer and simpler. While automation requires a
significant investment, the advantages far outweigh the
costs. Team LogYcode believes it is easy incorporation for
the logistics industry to provide specific and real-time piece
level information of cargo, with the technology already in
place. The RFID solution for tracking shipments at the
piece level renders the information to the logistics service
providers to improve their operational efficiency apart from
offering customers incredible and constant support.
The Progressive Journey
Placing the best foot forward in quick time, team LogYcode
has already set its eyes to the future! The push to launch
Ocean Freight is soon on the cards alongside developing
other significant territories in the supply chain such as
Warehousing, Customs Brokerage, Transportation. As a
holistic platform, it not only aims to target digital
integration of processes but the whole multi-modal supply
chain and logistics.

THE JOURNEY OF THE
LOGISTICS
INDUSTRY
IN INDIA
deally the concept of logistics needing
Itransport of goods took off when the place
of production shifted miles away from the
place of consumption. This wasn’t the case till
the time India was a country of villages with
everything being produced and consumed
within the village itself. With the need to grow
came the need to expand both markets and
production. Coupled to this was the fact that
production itself had grown much larger in size
and had to be moved from being created in
home-factories to factories/ production centres
in dedicated industrial areas.
This brought in the need for transport starting
with small vehicles including bullock-carts,
cycle-rickshaws, handcarts to motorised
transport vehicle which could be a threewheeled
small carrier to a multi-axle, multitonnage
trucks and rigs.
In India the journey of pure transport of goods
without the need for warehousing and godowns
started in the pre-independence days
18
November 2019|
New age of logistics Industry
with the likes of Human-pulled rickshaws, Cycle rickshaws,
Bullock carts/Horse carriages etc being the standard ware within
the city and across small distances between tows. Of these today
only the cycle rickshaws are still around, and given their nonpolluting
nature, could pull along for quite some time. The other
two being laborious to animal and human, have either been banned
completely or substantially.
As for transport between cities of items like cotton, farm produce
etc., the main source of transport were the railways given our
British masters preferred to give prominence to railways than to
road transport. From the hinterlands, cotton and farm produce
would be hauled by animal transport to the nearest railways
station/ yard and then loaded onto the train for further journey
mostly up to bigger commercial destinations like Delhi, Mumbai
and Chennai (then Madras). As for transport between cities, they
were pitiably negligible given that India in those times was an outand-out
agrarian subsistence economy with villages taking care of
themselves. Roads did exist but for very short distances like
Mumbai to Pune. For longer distances like Mumbai to Delhi &
Madras, there was hardly any user with roads being used to
transport stuff for the Britishers outside the country.
Independence brought change! And what change! In the name of a
road only remnants of the GT road (from Chittagong in
Bangladesh to Kabul in Afghanistan!) existed. Subsequently newer
roads connecting all the state capitals to Delhi and Mumbai took
| November 2019 19
place which in the recent years have all been bifurcated
into 4-laned one-way roads with talks of most being
converted to 6-8 lane expressways with speeds in excess
of 100 kms an hour.
With roads came vehilces, especially trucks. From the
time of independence into the 70s, there were three main
truck manufacturers, namely Tatas with their tie-up with
Mercedes, Ashok Leyland, an off-shoot of British
Leyland, Firodias of Pune with their brand Bajaj-Tempo,
Standard Motors of Chennai to name a few. These
companies and subsequent ones in that era bought dated
foreign technologies complete with their dies, casts and
drawings and made them in India for the Indian users.
It was the opening up of the economy in 1991 which
finally brought much-needed change with companies
existing and new doing a complete rejig of their models
to suit Indian needs. Tata’s came out with their own
series of trucks right from 9 MTs capacity to 24 to even
40 MTs multiaxles. Not to be outdone, AL too tied up
with Iveco and Hino for new tech and engines
respectively and has been giving India some of its best
and most powerful of machines. In time, newer
companies like AMW, Volvo and Scania too entered the
scene. Not to be left out, LCV makers like M & M and
Eicher too are in the truck and LCV fray. Today the
transport part of the logistics industry in India is full of
vehicles which fill practically every need in every weight
scale from a few kgs to a upto +50 MTs! And this isn’t
changing anytime soon given that roads are improving
with better and bigger ones being planned and
constructed.
If you thought the Indian logistics industry was all road
transport, you shouldn’t be excused! With the concept of
subsistence production be it of industry and agriculture
being all but dead, India is today the largest producer of
fruits, veggies, milk and eggs. And we aren’t even
talking about stuff made in factories across the country!
All this calls for a proper supply chain which itself
changes with what is being handled. Farm produce and
meats obviously need a separate category of handling as
compared to furniture, clothes and machinery including
automotive like cars and bikes. For these came a new
paradigm, the warehouse!
What was earliest four walls, a dirt floor and corrugated
sheets for a ceiling with even ten thousand feel of
covered area considered big, has undergone a sea
change! Temperature controlled, dust and vermin free
with each with a capacity close to 1 million (10 lacs) sq
ft, this is one serious business one really wants to be in
and create the right impression. In India, warehousing,
the other element of the Logistics trade came about in
the end of 90s when business in general stated to
increase exponentially along with trading, packing and
repacking of goods before sale. At that point of time, it
was the old-faithful-turn-new-bride go-down to
warehouse which worked simply because nothing else
seemed to work.
With the departing of the previous millenia, the old too
started to die-out with logistics companies like
Singapore’s Sembawang, APL Logistics and clutch of
export-oriented warehouse operators making thei
presence felt with large warehouses which had
seemingly better facilities than most Indian homes! With
them arriving, the industry sat up and took notice. What
was till then facility only meant for export shipments
was being demanded for local movements as well!
What really brought the biggest change in logistics in
India was a system of transaction which depended
completely on the mix of warehousing and transport to
survive and never had its own shops, showrooms and
storage. No prices for guessing this one! It was the
digital-age revolution called e-commerce front-ended by
foreign and Indian entities including Amazon, Flipkart,
Snapdeal, Paytm to name the top ones. With the promise
to bring you anything from an ant to an elephant, their
logistics set-up is like none that the world has ever seen
with entire warehouses of a few million sq feet being
constructed at regular intervals (in the absence of the
silly city-specific octroi tax and advent of GST instead!)
to facilitate movement of goods ordered online. Add to
this the need for transport from as small as a bike to as
big as one to haul a 45’ closed-bodied container!
And this, dear readers isn’t the end of the Logistics
journey. With India still to make an indelible impression
in the road and rail infrastructure and talks to include
varied other mode of logistics including inland
waterways, coastal shipping, use of de dirigible being
talked about, India is staring at the cusp of another great,
great revolution in the logistics industry which promises
to be as interesting as that which has happened till now!

potency differentiates Jay Storage from its competitors

conventional racking to the futuristic Automated storage

Why Choose Jay Storage?
The knacks to stay committed to deliver the best and
keep up with the changing times & customer demands
help the company in outshining its competitors. Its pool
of dedicated sales, production and installation
professionals keep no stone unturned in satisfying
present and engaging new customers with complete
determination.
The Company’s Take on Technology
We are in the disruptive technology age, and with the
onset of Industry 4.0, technology is already changing the
face of warehousing. Many companies are now using
automated storage solutions in warehouses like ASRS
and Shuttles. With the help of technology, overall
throughput time is getting reduced and picking
operations are becoming almost error-free & efficient
than before. With WMS software, AI and ML
capabilities, customers now get live access and real-time
information of their storage conditions, materials flow,
and other details.
The Big Picture
“It is more of a science about how, and where you store
material, how fast can it be retrieved, and how efficiently
can it be delivered. And we know this better,” states team
Jay Storage.
Technology is changing the way organizations do
business. But, when it comes to storage automation and
retrieval processes, the racking has to be more stable and
rigid. As warehouse users shift their focus to productivity
and throughput, racking will continue to move at the
forefront. Considering this, the company has started
moving from 8 meters to 12 meters and is now looking
to go higher. It believes that as it will go higher, it will
require more stability to outshine its competitors. It has
identified that warehouses will need narrow aisle
equipment, articulated forklifts as standard basic
equipment to effectively deal with the height. Also, these
equipment require very stringent stability and tolerances
during installation and if not designed and erected right,
it can cause a major disaster.
A Futuristic Approach
Jay Storage believes that the future will witness
automated storage solutions and retrieval market ruling
the businesses. The Indian trade segment will shift to
million square feet taller warehouse designs in the
coming times. Investing in robust R&D centres would
become more crucial as the industries are all set to move
from unorganized to organized. And, the company is all
set to tap this change and be a change-maker.

The USP
WOW Express is one of the first companies in the country
to have created a seamless technology that caters to the
logistics needs of diagnostics companies. The diagnostics
logistics business today is a $300mm market and is growing
15% annually. After carefully identifying and studying the

to the end customer. The trends to expect in logistics would
be an increase in supply chain visibility, shortened delivery
cycles, Omni channel supply chain, emerging elastic
logistics, and ability to adapt technology in day to day
operations.
To Steps Forth
initiatives to support the sector are going to be crucial for
the logistics industry in India. If the cards are played right,
the sector has the potential to create a huge number of jobs
and play a key role in driving the economy on a high wave.
At WOW, the core team has actively adapted technology in
their day-to-day operations to shorten the delivery cycle for
quicker delivery to customers. Also, the company is aiming
to scale up its operations with the increasing demand of
customers in logistic area.

Overtime Management
Software Adding Comfort in Corporates
Asimple definition to understand overtime can be, “the extra time consumed by an employee apart from the
agreed working hours”.
Every organization has different shift formats subjected to working hours, conditions & locations.as per the guidelines 8 to 9
hours of work is permitted, to work above this is considered as overtime.as the word “overtime” clearly suggests the extra
time arranged for work apart from the defined working hours. Overtime is practiced in almost every organization linking it
directly to the completion of a project, asssignment, event or a process within a given deadline. overtime can be performed by
an individual or a team. there are different formats & arrangments for overtime where not only extra hours needs to be
devoted after the fixed work shift timings but HR’s have modified the procedure with which you can dedicate your week off's
34
November 2019|
Embracing Technology to the Core
timings in the office as well counting it under the extra
timings or authentically calling it, overtime.
WHY IT REMAINS A COMPLEX ISSUE:
To practice overtime is costly for a company in both human
and monetary terms. It can be directly associated with
increased productivity but low work – family life balance.
Apart from this calculating overtime can be the biggest
nightmare for Human Resource as it can be a lengthy and
tricky process. Some other major reasons causing overtime
a complicated affair are:
Different formats and trends in overtime.
Overtime distribution amongst the employees.
Daily/weekly/Monthly overtime review and
calculation.
Multi level and multi location overtime database
and its calculation.
Setting minimum and maximum overtime policies.
Creating and modifying overtime guidlines and
sycnhronizing it with the database.
Performance Management.
Apart from it, an H.R needs to perform their fundamental
and most important duty, to motivate an employee and to
take care of their well being.
WHAT H.R DREAM ABOUT OVERTIME
MANAGEMENT:
On questioning the H.R about what they think or desire in
an overtime management software to help them in
calculating overtime, they told us about their issues to be
taken care off which started as:
A software which can handle lengthy overtime
data which may also contain variations in it.
Duplicate entries to be checked and avoided.
Multiple user log ins.
Multi level approval/rejection option.
Daily/weekly overtime review for H.R.
Regular/irregular data fixation.
Calculation
factors for weekly off beyond regular time.
Vacation additional time hour’s effects.
Should be able to process overtime data of 24x7
work environment and 12 hours rotational shift
processes.
Synchronized overtime data from multi
level/multiple locations.
Other type of associated data processing like
laboured hours, excursion hours, overtime hours.
For overtime management software to work aptly, correct
and complete data should reach the overtime software and
this process gets initiated from the biometric attendance
machines and access control systems. Data Capture
software plays the role to transfer all the raw data from the
machine into the software which further gets processed into
Time Office software to get synchronized working hours
data and overtime hours data separately. After when this
data gets transferred to overtime management software,
extra hours calculation gets completed giving the complete
work duration for the employees.
DOING JUSTICE WITH H.R - OVERTIME
MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE:
While a review call, one of the Human Resource
department from an organization described how Overtime
management system has helped their company to save time
and money in overtime alteration. One of the most value
added feature they got is handling the Multi Location
Overtime Trouble. Further explanation described that there
company has got offices at various locations and overtime
remains functional the whole month. all the supervisors of
different locations sends the final overtime data of their
employees to the head office from where the admin
approves or disapproves the former requests and send it
back to their respective locations.
Secondly the associated data like time, attendance &
overtime of employees are monitored & measured by the
supervisors & only former is authorized for data and its
measuring which adds the advantage of multi level data
checking and approval. They also added that it has helped
them in reducing the paper consumption due to online
report generation, checking and approval.
It is not mandatory to work overtime just to calculate the
overtime. Your smart research for Indigenous manufacturers
and developers, value added features, value for money,
round the clock technical support can help you in opting a
valuable and effective Overtime Management Software.
