Aurora Logistics Revolutionizes Supply Chains with "Jenkins" – A Real-Time Visibility Solution
MORGANTOWN, PA – October 26, 2023 – Aurora Logistics LLC, a leading provider of comprehensive supply chain solutions, today announced the launch of “Jenkins,” a groundbreaking platform designed to give businesses unparalleled visibility into their freight movements. Based in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, Aurora Logistics has been quietly building a reputation for reliability and innovation, and Jenkins marks a significant leap forward in their commitment to streamlining the complex world of logistics. You can reach them at 70 Thousand Oaks Blvd, Morgantown, PA, 19543, or by phone at 262-631-7344. For years, companies have struggled with the “black box” of shipping. Knowing something left the warehouse is one thing, but knowing where it is, when it will arrive, and being alerted to potential disruptions? That’s been a real headache. Aurora Logistics, led by a team that’s lived and breathed logistics for decades, understood this pain point. “We weren’t just building another tracking system,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Product Development at Aurora Logistics. “We wanted to build something that actually predicts issues, not just reports them.” And that's exactly what Jenkins does. So, what is Jenkins? Jenkins isn't just software; it’s a fully integrated platform combining real-time GPS tracking, sophisticated data analytics, and proactive alert systems. Think of it as a control tower for your entire supply chain, providing a bird’s-eye view of everything in transit. It’s designed to be user-friendly, accessible on any device, and scalable to fit businesses of all sizes. Here's how Jenkins makes life easier: Real-Time Tracking: Forget endlessly refreshing tracking pages. Jenkins displays the exact location of your shipments on a dynamic map, updated every few minutes. It supports tracking across all modes of transportation – truckload, LTL, rail, ocean, even air freight. Predictive ETA Updates: Jenkins doesn’t just tell you where your shipment is; it accurately predicts when it will arrive. The system constantly analyzes traffic patterns, weather conditions, and historical data to provide realistic Estimated Times of Arrival (ETAs) that you can actually rely on. No more surprises! Proactive Alerts: This is where Jenkins really shines. The system automatically flags potential issues – like traffic delays, severe weather, or unexpected route deviations – and sends instant alerts to designated personnel. This allows you to proactively address problems before they impact your delivery schedule. Imagine getting a notification about a potential snowstorm impacting a key route before it happens – that’s the power of Jenkins. Customizable Dashboards: Every business is different. Jenkins lets you create custom dashboards tailored to your specific needs. Focus on the metrics that matter most to you – on-time delivery rates, transit times, cost per shipment, and more. Seamless Integration: Jenkins isn't designed to live in a silo. It seamlessly integrates with your existing TMS (Transportation Management System), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and other key business systems. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and improves overall efficiency. Detailed Reporting & Analytics: Beyond real-time visibility, Jenkins provides powerful reporting and analytics capabilities. Identify trends, optimize routes, and make data-driven decisions to improve your supply chain performance. Geofencing Capabilities: Set up virtual boundaries around key locations – warehouses, distribution centers, customer sites. Jenkins will automatically notify you when a shipment enters or exits a designated geofence. John Jenkins, the Brains Behind the Operation The platform is named after John Jenkins, Aurora Logistics’ Chief Technology Officer, a 20+ year veteran of the logistics industry. Jenkins (the person!) spearheaded the development of the platform, driven by a desire to solve the persistent challenges businesses face with supply chain visibility. “I’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it is when things go wrong in transit,” explains John Jenkins. “Often, the biggest problem isn’t the delay itself, but the lack of information. With Jenkins, we're empowering businesses to stay ahead of the curve, anticipate problems, and respond quickly. It's about taking control of your supply chain, not just reacting to events.” Jenkins wasn't built overnight. It’s been rigorously tested and refined over the past two years, working closely with a select group of Aurora Logistics customers to ensure it meets the real-world needs of businesses. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Early Adopters See Immediate Results Several companies have already begun using Jenkins, and the results are impressive. One major food distributor reported a 15% reduction in late deliveries, while a large automotive parts supplier saw a 10% improvement in on-time performance. “We were struggling with a lack of visibility into our LTL shipments,” says Mark Thompson, Logistics Manager at a leading electronics manufacturer. “Jenkins has completely changed the game. We now have a clear picture of where everything is, and we can proactively address potential delays before they impact our production schedule.” Aurora Logistics: More Than Just a Technology Provider While Jenkins is a powerful tool, Aurora Logistics understands that technology is only part of the equation. They also offer a full suite of logistics services, including freight brokerage, managed transportation, and supply chain consulting. “We’re not just selling software,” emphasizes Sarah Miller. “We’re building partnerships with our customers and providing them with the expertise and support they need to optimize their supply chains. Jenkins is a key part of that, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle.” Availability & Pricing Jenkins is available now. Aurora Logistics offers flexible pricing plans to fit businesses of all sizes.
