Reorganization in 2003
The consequences of restructuring were deep and felt across the organization. Some of the most important issues are captured here. Earlier, Gati was a corporate office-driven organization. Now every division and zone was expected to set its targets (in consultation with the corporate office). The zones should manage their funds. The zones can resolve structural issues, modify procedures, refund customer (Claim) settlement, and damages. Virtually, they are independent, subject to broad policy issues. Earlier, divisions were based on geographical delivery, Now they are based on activity and its intensity. The old system was driven by close supervision. The new system is driven by performance measures and empowerment, Responsibilities have been redefined and refocused, and reporting relationships have changed.

Gati Online Initiative


conceptualized in 2000 objective was to develop a web-enabled information technology platform to support operations. project which was named Gati@web. The project comprised three different components: I. GEMS was the main application which was to be custom built covering all activities of Gati. II. Oracle Financials for financial reporting III. CRM for the contact centres. GEMS generated a summary report (DBR (daily business report) of all transactions carried out during the 24-hour cycle at more than 300 Gati 10caUons. Oracle Financials was used for balance sheet purposes, and the contact centre modules of CRM were used at various call centres of Gati.
