Digitization – The logistics industry in transition
Cloud deployment, artificial intelligence, Big Data-based data analyses: digitization has revolutionized the logistics industry and is shaping the way goods are transported, stored and distributed. This is fundamentally changing the requirements for supply chain management: companies need innovative solutions to make their supply chains efficient and transparent.
Delivery times, inventory, customer service, quality – based on a comprehensive data basis, changes in the market can be strategically analyzed and used for goods calculation and delivery promises. In order to benefit from the associated opportunities, supply chain managers should address technical issues and potential challenges:
- How can you increase your supply chain visibility in order to exploit the full optimization potential?
- Which digital solutions enable a solid management of data and information?
- What advantages do artificial intelligence and machine learning offer for optimizing supply chain processes?
- What risks should be considered as supply chain digitization increases – and what countermeasures are necessary?
In our blog articles on the subject of “digitization”, we answer a variety of relevant questions and highlight how the integration of smart solutions in logistics processes not only increases the efficiency of companies, but also minimizes risks and opens up new opportunities with enhanced transparency.
