Digital technologies have saturated and disordered almost all segments, and logistics companies are no exception. Integrating the optimization and efficiency in speed and seizing the moment are the keys to success in today’s extremely competitive business market. The developing technology is the key enabler allowing companies to realize these aspects. Logistics and transportation are regarded as the backbone of the economy, providing an efficient and cost-effective flow of goods on which other commercial sectors depend. The logistics industry is evolving globally; it is the combination of infrastructure, technology and new types of service providers. This defines whether the logistics industry is able to help its customers with cost-effective operations and effective services.
Leveraging Technology
An Independent analysis reveals that the transportation and logistics companies are increasing revenue and working with the vision to standardize and streamline structures and processes. They are leveraging technology for developing industry oriented and innovative solutions. They have a strong belief that technology is the key enabler for strategic planning.
On an average, transportation and logistics enterprises invest about five percent of their annual returns in digital operations, majorly focusing on digitizing their customer interface. The thrust these days is exclusively on mobile apps and solutions that offer a personalized experience for their customers. However, the majority of the companies are increasingly using digital technology to expose new business models, dedicated to the establishment of value-added services and innovative solutions.
Logistics companies are leveraging technology not just to improve the efficiency of operations, but also to transform the way operations take place. The use of robots in giant warehouses is already well-known, as is the driverless, remote-controlled vehicles. Technology drives a swing to a customer gripped operating model, allowing the delivery of personalized and customer-focused logistics, with immediate and faster cycle times.
Improve Operations through Big Data
