Transport costs are the highest for supply chains in Bangladesh due to lack of optimization of services: trucks circulate below capacity; the need for container diversification based on product, etc. COVID19 exacerbated this challenge as SMEs' liquidity diminished and they cannot pay in advance transport costs to ship goods to main markets. UNDP’s COVID Supply Chain Restoration Task Team of COVID Private Sector Platform identified the lack of a transparent transport system as a challenge to overcome. The solution identified is creating a digital platform for a transparent supply chain by integrating transport services of multiple logistics companies in a single platform. Producers will input demand data (what they need to transport, and route) and logistics suppliers will input supply data (which trucks are moving, available capacity, and route). The digital platform will bring Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs), eCommerce platforms, and SMEs to share trucks and costs maximizing efficiency and lowering costs for SMEs.

EkShop Delivery platform aims to provide a data-driven solution for maximizing space utility in their fleet, not only in a traditional way but also by accumulating the distributed stakeholders and their assets around the country. Many of the transportation resources are being kept unutilized or unused due to the lack of information sharing and systematic composition among the demand and supplies. The project is intended to make an integrated digital platform from where all the stakeholders can share and utilize transportation resources for their logistics management. They can get information about the availability of space in the vehicles. Development of the space allocation system is also considered as a process backed by the data-driven approach.
