Reflectiveness at Item level may include its temperature, orientation, or packaging, whereas when it comes to a consignment level, the reflectivity has to be more comprehensive. To overcome such murkiness, command centre or a centralised control tower is one of the most effective and established concept in busi-ness. It is an intense care unit backed by advanced IT tools which monitors and tracks real time transactions of the supply chain and keeps a close eye on the overall operations, all the concerns are readily escalated and re-solved. It can achieve the level where management can have visualization of each and every inbound and out-bound operation. Command Centre embraces systems and communication interfaces. It helps in redesigning transport operations, control cost and increase customer satisfaction. Command Centres are key enabler for han-dling a business within the organizational boundaries as well as across the boundaries. It results in both tangible benefits by reducing down time of vehicles, increasing backhauls and intangible benefits by regular and im-mediate alerts to internal team as well as customer thus reducing post-event disputes.The ConclusionHence needless to say, IT impact on Cold Chain lead to better overall enterprise performance, better ROI, ROE, and market share. IT is the first solution that comes in mind when optimum performance is desired. But high firm performance is not only dependent on internal re-sources but also external causes like natural and social condition.
