From Transportation Management Systems to 4PL approach

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need for automation, while rising costs and ongoing labor and parts shortages in the past few years have only further cemented it.

The COVID-19 after-effect will be attainable on customer behavior via digital superiority in servicing.

Data analytics enables the real-time tracking of the goods, and sourcing the most cost-efficient carrier partner.

AI/ML algorithms can positively contribute, e.g. route-planning optimization, enhanced fleet mgt., etc.

Blockchain technology clearly addresses supply chain mgt/logistics (e.g. tracking the orders,...).

Global Logistics Market, 2022-2030

The logistics industry is evaluated at $4.09 billion in 2022 and is slated to hit $12.09 billion by the end of 2030 with a CAGR of nearly 17.1% between 2023 and 2030.

The 4PL segment is accounted for more than 62% of the global market share in 2022

Logistics enterprises and industry plants are sharing the following common conditions:

1

The COVID-19 after-effect, incl. supply chain tensions and never-seen inflation hike arisen by the War in Ukraine makes suppliers drastically cut back costs.

2

Enterprises seek for new ways how to satisfy online customers more (CX/UX issues are at the forefront to cope with an increasing level of sophistication and decreasing loyalty).

3

Again, high upfront costs of new logistics technologies created a huge challenge to the industry. Hence, any IT investment that can be extensional should be considered.

4

Supply chain mgt. companies are facing with more and more demanding, technology-savvy consumers (they want quick shipping, real-time visibility, and flexibility).

How can I make sure my business processes are secure and streamlined to best satisfy Customer needs?
