At present, the Apollo team facilitates 3P solutions and end-to-end supply chain services across varied business domains and has established the company as the leader of the domain. The company is scaling the success ladder at a brisk pace with its top-notch service panel and with an industrial team.

Explaining the inception story of the company, Mr. Kanwar asserts, “After gaining insights into the fragmented logistic sector in India and realizing its increased potential, we decided to embrace the opportunity to link the logistics industry’s growth with associated infrastructural development. ALS was founded to professionally revolutionize the logistics industry in India by “Nurturing Entrepreneurs through Partnership’. Collaborating with my team, we set up the enterprise to help manufacturers and companies focus solely on their core operations without bothering about supply chain issues while having real-time access to information on the movement of goods.

We have turned ALS into a one-stop logistics solution provider for customers through our network and presence across various domains.

Distinctive factors
Our team asked the leadership panel about their major differentiating factors in the respective realm. They explained to us that their focal focus is on creating and utilizing multimodal logistics networks to attain the best possible efficiency and cost reduction. The Apollo team is relentlessly working on increasing and improving the logistic realm with their top-notch services. The Apollo team is putting their utmost efforts into scaling their operation at the next level and inculcating similar opportunities for themselves as well.

To explain their skill of creating excellent solutions, the Leader says further, “The major pain points of clients concerning the logistics services are the overall logistics cost, reliability and visibility of products across their supply chain. At ALS, we engage with our customers and potential customers to understand their challenges and needs related to logistics services and strive to address them effectively.

Synchronization with Technology
“Every single industry is going through a major business model and technology-oriented disruption.” Technology plays a significant role in the growth and success of every business from different niches hence, business leaders at present put their efforts into attaining emerging technology in their organizations. We questioned Raaja about his perception of tech and R&D throughout the organization and he replied by saying, “ALS is on a digital transformation journey, where the operations are being managed through various digital management systems.

Based on the requirement of the clients and the need for operations various warehouse management systems are used to bring in operational efficiency and effective monitoring of the operations. Through a transport management system which handles the FTL, PTL, Milk run operations with track and trace capabilities ALS is aspiring to bring in greater visibility and efficiency to its operations. We are in the process of developing AI or ML-based monitoring systems to eliminate/reduce the pilferage/theft in the warehouses. Keeping abreast with the developments in the sector, ALS is planning to reduce its carbon footprints through replacing/converting its current fleet to run on greener sources of energy.”

Future Endeavors
There are multiple inefficiencies in the respective realm of logistics, which has become a major reason for high cost and is impacting the service quality. As mentioned earlier, the company is focusing on leveraging its presence across the logistic service domain and providing integrated services. “Multimodal logistics and conversion of road movement to rail movement is a focus area for us to pass on the benefits and advantages of the developing rail infrastructure in the Country.

We will continue to focus on the key sectors such as e-commerce, chemical, hi-tech & electronics expected to drive the growth of the logistics industry. Our rural supply chain currently has a lot of inefficiencies and presents a larger opportunity for logistics players. We are pursuing these opportunities to bring in improvement through technology and optimization of the supply-chain network.”
