关于客户
The JOC Group is the authoritative provider of global intelligence for trade, transportation, and logistics professionals worldwide. Its brands include The Journal of Commerce, PIERS, and a number of directory databases covering the international trade, railroad, and trucking markets. PIERS’ roots reach back to 1827 with the founding of The Journal of Commerce. Headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, PIERS issues trade intelligence reports that are commonly used by its customers to generate sales leads, obtain competitive intelligence, identify buyers and suppliers, conduct market research, and monitor contractual compliance. PIERS gathers raw data from carrier manifests for all waterborne cargo vessels that enter and exit ports in the U.S. Additionally, PIERS staff reporters manually collect export Bills of Lading from each U.S. port not otherwise made available electronically. These import and export records account for 17 million bills of lading collected by PIERS each year.
挑战
The JOC Group, a provider of global intelligence for trade, transportation, and logistics professionals, was facing a challenge in providing its clients with better Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics to make critical business decisions. As the competitive landscape for data services evolved, decision-makers at JOC Group realized they needed to improve the company’s BI capabilities to preserve market leadership. They examined offerings from several software vendors and chose Information Builders for its complete spectrum of technology and services for data integrity, data integration, and BI.
解决方案
Information Builders Professional Services helped JOC Group develop the initial version of the BI environment and restructure the database. PIERS receives U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data each day in a raw, unstructured format. iWay technology serves as the foundation on which PIERS can implement its proprietary PIERS Six Step Process, allowing the company to structure, standardize, validate, code, calculate, and enhance the data it receives and processes daily from CBP. The WebFOCUS dashboards are embedded in MyPIERS, an enterprise portal that has been deployed to several dozen of the JOC Group’s largest accounts. Authorized users enter the system via a secure HTML page. They can choose reports and interact with the data via parameterized charts and graphs designed for their particular business needs.

Case Study
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
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
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.”
