A continuación, te explicamos cómo puedes gestionar eficazmente un equipo de transporte remoto.

To effectively manage a remote transportation team, embracing technology is essential. Here’s how to leverage various technological tools and systems to enhance operations: 1. Utilize Transportation Management Systems (TMS) A Transportation Management System (TMS) is crucial for streamlining operations in transportation management. It allows you to: Plan and Optimize Shipments: A TMS helps in planning routes, comparing carrier rates, and booking shipments efficiently. This can significantly reduce operational costs and improve shipping efficiency Real-Time Tracking: With a TMS, you can track shipments in real-time, providing visibility into the status of goods as they move through the supply chain.

Abrace a tecnologia com entusiasmo e deixe os métodos antiquados para os museus. Com as ferramentas certas e uma mentalidade aberta, você pode transformar o gerenciamento de uma equipe de transporte remoto em uma operação eficiente e bem coordenada. E quem sabe, ainda sobrará tempo para um café, sem a planilha!

Ao longo de minha experiência atuando com equipes remotas, sempre priorizei primeiramente a revisão e o estabelecimento das rotinas, pois por muitas vezes quando assumimos uma equipe remota, podemos correr o risco de pensar que os mesmos já tem uma rotina pré-estabelecida e que a mesma segue com máxima eficiência, mas vale muito a pena, se aproximar destas equipes, ouvi-las, buscar conhecer cada um, promover um ambiente seguro ao ponto que possam se sentirem a vontade para expor possíveis falhas de comunicação, processo ou outros gaps, e eles mesmo sugerirem alternativas. Isso com certeza engaja o time e traz melhores resultados.

Having SOPs in place is critical. I was leading a team and they did not have SOPs, they had work instructions only (which is also needed) SOPs ensures clear roles and responsibilities among various stakeholders and define expectations if they include KPIs. Yet, KPIs and goals can also be set by leader separately if cannot be included in SOPs. A successful leader should ensure SOPs are created and reviewed periodically. A successful leader follows "write what you are doing, do what you have written" logic and this includes exceptions.

Define Roles and Responsibilities: Make sure each team member knows their specific duties and how they contribute to the overall objectives. Establish KPIs: Use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure productivity and performance, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Estabelecer e comunicar expectativas claras é crucial para o sucesso de qualquer equipe remota. Se você quiser uma equipe que execute como um time de campeões, defina essas expectativas com precisão e mantenha a comunicação aberta. Assim, sua equipe não só estará na mesma página, mas também no mesmo capítulo.

Communication and creating open channels for team members are key activities for the leader. While some people like to have a remote leader, for some this is a demotivating case (if there is also time zone difference, this negativity increases) A successful leader should have regular team and one to one meetings scheduled with team, find ways to monitor progress linking (but not limited to) performance indicators, measurable data, celebrate success and special days (birthdays, job anniversaries, etc.) as soon as possible.

Monitorar o desempenho é essencial para manter sua equipe de transporte remoto no caminho certo. Com KPIs bem definidos, tecnologia para rastreamento e check-ins regulares, você pode transformar o gerenciamento em uma operação de alta eficiência. Afinal, ninguém quer dirigir às cegas.

It is critical to understand team members' strengths, weaknesses and ambitions up front, before empowering remote team. There may be members willing to comply and feeling more comfortable however, there may be members stressed about it. A successful leader must ensure communication channels are open with self and within team members. It is crucial that team members recognize that they do not have to tackle with all the issues by themselves and can ask for support from leader and other team members as needed. In a sense of creating a self sufficient "TEAM" is key task for the leader.

Online Training Programs: Provide access to online courses and training to help your team members develop new skills and stay updated on industry trends. Mentorship: Encourage mentorship within the team, which can help less experienced members grow and develop their skills.
