Technology is continuously evolving. It doesn’t feel long ago that we went from using yellow pads and pens to track loads to computers! At Jones Logistics (JoLo), we know how quickly the world is changing, and we also know how intimidating that can be. However, we see this as an opportunity for us to adapt and leverage tech resources to be more efficient so you can start focusing on what’s next in your business. 

At JoLo, we have a tech team that is dedicated to the optimization of our efforts by understanding critical systems, implementing software, and delivering new solutions to give you greater peace of mind. No doubt this improves our jobs so that we can work better for you, but it also allows us to provide the best technological solution to fit your freight needs. When we become your trusted logistics provider, it’s our responsibility to not only deliver your goods from point A to point B, but also to provide tech solutions and resources for you to have full visibility from the time your freight hits the road to the time it’s unloaded: 

  • Customized Solutions: We pride ourselves on our ability to provide customized solutions in nearly every area of our business, and the technology realm is no exception! We build custom integrations for customers, providing visibility and options to accommodate each of their individual and unique transportation needs. 
  • Early Adopters of New Tech: We’re not just tapping into the role of evolving tech at JoLo. We research, vet, and implement some of the best new transportation software on the market, such as Parade, Greenscreens.ai, and Trimble. We’re early adopters of new applications because we believe our customers deserve the best in efficiency, transparency, and security. 
  • Leveraging Relationships: We maintain strong vendor relationships that allow us to provide leading technology tools and education that keep our team up to date on new trends and operating systems, but also on potential threats such as scams or malware. We also work with partners who leverage AI and machine learning technologies. 
  • Risk Management: Safety and security are always top of mind at JoLo. For one thing, we have 24/7 monitoring of our entire network. With our advanced knowledge and predictive analytics, we can anticipate challenges, implement contingency plans to minimize disruptions, and identify potential security breaches before they occur. 
  • Integrations and Automation: More times than not, we are able to integrate with existing systems. In fact, we have integrations with all major visibility partners. This enables seamless data sharing, enhances visibility, and elimination of manual processes, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall efficiency. 
  • Real-time Tracking: We offer advanced tracking systems that allow you to monitor your shipments in real-time. These systems provide visibility into the location, status, and estimated arrival times of your goods. With this information at your fingertips, you can have peace of mind knowing where your shipments are at any given moment. 
  • Scalability and Flexibility: Our tech-driven solutions can scale and adapt to your business needs. Whether you experience seasonal fluctuations, business expansion, or changes in your logistics requirements, we can offer flexible tech solutions that grow with your business, ensuring smooth operation during times of change.

All that to be said, perhaps one of our best qualities is that we have the personal touch of a small business while operating with the technology of a large corporation. That’s because we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We seek to empower you with greater control, visibility, and insights into your supply chain. With real-time tracking, automated notifications, risk management capabilities, integrated systems, and reliable customer support, you can achieve peace of mind knowing that your logistics operations are well-managed and optimized.
