He discussed Ninja Van&#8217;s innovative system, including empowering riders with mobile technology that makes sure their parcel database is updated in real-time and parcels are delivered fast to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tech-based system drives innovation across the entire organization and removes a lot of traditional limitations. Ninja Van captures more data than any other logistics company today, and breaking down those data leads to better decision-making. Better decisions lead to better speed and a better understanding of what&#8217;s driving our customers&#8217; problems, and that makes it more intuitive for us to address those problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also shared some advice for today&#8217;s business owners: &#8220;Prioritize innovation. Take the best of what&#8217;s been done before while overlaying new ways of thinking on top of them. You can do a little better than your competitors or do something totally different and change the rules of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Businesses that don&#8217;t evolve get left behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/2ETG50GzDiYFpQHflBoPgt\"><strong><strong>ModernTaoKe Series: Innovating and Adapting to the Digital Age<\/strong><\/strong> <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/2ETG50GzDiYFpQHflBoPgt\">podcast<\/a> <\/strong>for more insights and golden nuggets of wisdom from Ninja Van Boss, Martin Cu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advanced-gutenberg-blocks-notice is-variation-advice has-icon\" data-type=\"advice\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M14 9V5a3 3 0 0 0-3-3l-4 9v11h11.28a2 2 0 0 0 2-1.7l1.38-9a2 2 0 0 0-2-2.3zM7 22H4a2 2 0 0 1-2-2v-7a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h3\"><\/path><\/svg><p class=\"wp-block-advanced-gutenberg-blocks-notice__title\">Business Insights &amp; ECommerce Tips<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-advanced-gutenberg-blocks-notice__content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\">Ninja Van&#8217;s brand editorial<\/a> provides business insights, industry trends, Marketing and Branding tips, and weekly curated news related to business and ecommerce.
