Harnessing tech for better transport

By Emma Gonzalez (China Daily) Updated: 2015-06-04 08:23

In this "information age", where instant messaging and the use of sophisticated software to manage data is becoming increasingly important, it is hard to imagine an industry worth 5.4 trillion yuan ($871 billion) using e-mails to communicate and relying on Excel spreadsheets to store information.

But the reality is that some of China's largest business-to-business transportation industry firms are still not making use of technology advances, resulting in higher costs and lower efficiency, especially compared with similar companies operating in the United States and Europe.

It is this lacunae that has provided an opportunity for Poland-born Mirek Dabrowski to start his own transportation software enterprise in Shanghai and shake the industry with a new concept.

Dabrowski founded oTMS in 2013 after having spent 13 years working in China as a regional manager for several international transportation and logistics companies, including Denmark's DSV A/S and Germany's DHL Express.

Although he has no experience in software development, it was clear to him that the B2B transportation industry in China needs a technological revolution.

"The idea of creating the software was driven by all the frustrations I suffered while working in the industry. Especially in terms of how inefficient the system was and how slowly information traveled to the different parties involved in the supply chain," said Dabrowski, the founder of oTMS.

The software developed by his company uses the technologies of cloud computing and mobile Internet to connect every party in the transportation process, including shippers, trucking companies and drivers.

The service provides real time information, monitors unusual conditions and simplifies routine work.

While the concept might appear simple, the idea has actually helped transportation companies save time and money.

"We created a product specifically for the characteristics and the realities of the Chinese market. The B2B transportation industry in China is still very fragmented and it is in a very rudimentary stage," said Dabrowski.

He said that China's largest B2B transportation companies currently do not even use specialized computer programs to monitor their deliveries. This translates into higher expenditures and lower efficiency.

"We help companies to save costs, especially those related to administration procedures. To give an example, before using our system it could take companies around 30 days to collect a proof of delivery. But now they can do it digitally with a mobile phone in a matter of seconds," Dabrowski said.

Although he first imagined the concept in 2000, the lower Internet penetration and the absence of smartphones did not allow for real improvements in the industry.

He said that back in 2000 his idea was just a vision, because it was not technologically feasible.

But in 2011, all the components needed such as cloud technology, smartphones and mobile applications were already there.
