About The Customer
The customer is a leading devices and services company operating in the Information Technology, Transportation and Logistics industry. They are a global company with a significant presence in the market. The company is interested in gaining insights into the transportation and logistics industry, specifically the fleet management services segment. They are looking for detailed information such as market size, statistics of different segments within the industry, value chain, use cases/scenarios, key emerging trends and focus areas. They also want a deep-dive analysis into the fleet management services segment and data on the top system integrators, SaaS player cooperation, SaaS player tech build up, fleet management customers of the top AEP players, etc.
The Challenge
The transportation and logistics industry has undergone significant changes in recent times. Due to its cross-functional role, it is a critical link between industries and is often a mirror that reflects imminent changes. Globalization has led to a geographical and service expansion by many logistics providers, with supply chains becoming more complex and comprehensive. Many technology companies are targeting this market, especially the fleet management space, which is growing at the rate of more than 20% year-over-year. The fleet management services market encompasses independent software vendors, system integrators, software as a service (SaaS) and application enablement platform providers in its value chain. Various vendors are capitalizing on the increasing need for operational efficiency, which is expected to be the primary driver for this market.
The Solution
Blueocean Market Intelligence was asked to provide market insights into the transportation and logistics industry, sharing details such as market size, statistics of different segments within the industry, value chain, use cases/ scenarios, key emerging trends and focus areas. The team was also asked to prepare a deep-dive analysis into the fleet management services segment and provide data on the top system integrators, SaaS player cooperation, SaaS player tech build up, fleet management customers of the top AEP players, etc. The research was spread over eight weeks and implemented the following steps, which were structured to be aligned with the project objectives: Completed the study based on available reports and secondary sources. Built a report that included details such as the transportation and logistics market landscape, value chain, use cases and scenarios, key emerging trends, such as application enablement platform, M2M analytics, fleet monitoring, radio frequency identification (RFID) and near-field communication (NFC).

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
