Technological innovation is changing the logistics game. In recent years, the logistics industry has seen massive advancements in the areas of augmented and artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced analytics, among others. These cutting-edge technologies offer new solutions to combat existing challenges like last-mile delivery, transportation optimisation, and warehouse automation. Realising the vital role of technology in improving productivity and customer satisfaction levels, a majority of organisations today are seeking logistics tech providers that can help them get a competitive edge over their contemporaries.
This escalating demand for tech-based solutions for optimising and enhancing logistics operations is resulting in the mushrooming of innovative and independent startups that offer the solutions for a multitude of industry-specific needs.
The new entrants in the logistics industry are incorporating state-of-the-art business models with the combination of effective logistics services and tech-based platforms. For instance, logistics startups are providing solutions such as a robust logistics IT platform to substantially reduce the logistics cost for the clients and increase the degree of transparency and reliability in the industry.
