A Solution to Move Ahead Smarter
A dearly embraced proprietary name in Sri Lankan bakery industry, P&S, with its trusted presence for over a century in the country, joined hands with Dialog Enterprise leveraging on Smart Fleet, a utilitarian solution for fleet management in keeping abreast with the times. “We maintain a relentless focus on keeping our supply chain as efficient as possible. The pandemic brought about a paradigm shift which we are also adapting to. Consumer behaviour drastically changed almost overnight, and people have become very comfortable with e-commerce.
Our vision has always been to adapt to changing times and so we hope that we will make the best of this strategic partnership with Dialog Enterprise in successfully managing our fleet and protecting our goods and thereby providing our customers with the best of service” said P&S’s Managing Director Gihan Perera, a fourth-generation member of the family-owned enterprise. “We have always benchmarked the Sri Lankan bakery industry in terms of quality and availability, offering wider reach and accessibility to our signature products across the country. As such, we foresee this Smart Fleet solution contributing significantly in helping us move forward efficiently with our vision” he added further. Taking pride in operating over 168 outlets across the country, P&S holds a prominent place in the Sri Lankan Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) arena and is affectionately known as the friendly home baker within reach. With the bakery products being perishable and temperature-sensitive, it is imperative that optimal conditions are maintained to ensure the freshness and quality of the goods.
Smart Fleet solution by Dialog Enterprise enables the monitoring of key environmental conditions and also vehicle telematics ensuring the safety of goods, the fleet and the staff. Equipped with temperature sensors, real-time data is made available for monitoring and decision making. The solution facilitates scheduling and monitoring of the entire order delivery process, with the possibility of assigning upcoming jobs/orders based on real-time vehicle availability. “We are happy to support the P&S brand to further augment their offering with the very latest in technology to ensure safety and reliability. This marks the first step in creating a smarter eco-system at P&S using our analytics-led suite of Smart solutions”, said Supun Weerasinghe, Group Chief Executive of Dialog Axiata PLC. Smart Fleet, the fleet management solution by Dialog Enterprise is a Global Positioning System (GPS) driven, cost-effective IoT solution providing end-to-end visibility to the entire transportation process by gathering diagnostics and operating information from commercial vehicles. With the cloud-based solution available on smartphones, the employees can conveniently gain visibility of their vehicle fleet with vital information such as vehicle location, status, and what it is used for, etc. at their fingertips. Smart Fleet’s geofencing feature ensures that the fleet remains within specified boundaries, with alerts enabled for notification if and when vehicles move out of allotted boundaries and reach high-risk or locked down areas during the pandemic, while real-time system alerts are triggered in the event of an emergency or if the vehicle deviates from its assigned task. Furthermore, the optional route optimisation feature enables mapping out delivery route and also reduces travel time.
