The project investigates the feasibility for the introduction of an Integrated Logistics System in the operational environment of the transport and logistics company PROODOS S.A. In particular, the Feasibility Study refers to the development of a system enabling the efficient networking and collaboration of the parties involved in the door-to-door supply chain activities, from the shipper to the final recipient. The collaboration is ensured by the reorganization of the procedures throughout the whole chain and is supported by a wide e-business and e-logistics information system.
Based on the Feasibility Study results, the system can be developed, having undertaken to a significant extent the activities preceding the implementation of a full scale application project, which are described below:
• Analysis of the needs and requirements of the parties involved in the logistics network under consideration.
