Technology Newsmaker Q&A Frank Granieri, A. Duie Pyle

Frank Granieri is the COO of A. Duie Pyle, a Northeast transportation and logistics provider. Granieri spoke to Aftermarket Business World about supply chain technology, outsourcing, and logistics challenges facing the aftermarket.

Q. What do you see as the key emerging technologies that the aftermarket will benefit from in the supply chain?

Real-time information … Automated geofences and delivery notifications help reduce effort of our customers for track and trace functions by a GPS-powered automatic gate in and gate out procedure at delivery locations. With custom technology development increasing, we are able to partner with clients and incorporate the “voice of the customer” in the design phase rather than delaying feedback until deployment when changes may be costly or illogical.
