Highlights:
Did you know 70% of industry professionals predicted that the supply chain would be the main key to ensuring better customer service by the end of this year?
The supply chain is an important part of the logistics industry. The logistics industry is diverse.
This industry encompasses everything from container shipping to air freight, and port operators to courier services. Right from an orphaned tiger cub to half a billion bottles of vintage Greek wine to life-saving organs for transplant, the logistics transport everything to anywhere on earth.
Although the logistics industry recovered from a financial crisis in 2008, it was growing at a rate of 15% per year till 2014. Within this time, the combined market capitalization increased from $414 to $960 billion.
With such growth, the logistics industry is experiencing new market trends fueling the demands of the industry. The trends have discovered more about who the consumers are and what they expect from the growing industry. These changes pinpoint technology innovation in the industry.
It’s digitization!
Historical Roadmap of the Logistic Industry
- 146 BC: Rome created a highly effective logistic system to supply its legions to war with the Greeks. They called it “logistikas” that supplied and allocated resources for the soldiers.
- 1760-1840 (Industrial Revolution): The middle age used warehouses and forts for storages. The logistics industry leveraged railway and ships during the industrial revolution.
- 1914-1918 (World War I): The transportation and communication got a boost and goods transportation happened among the countries to support their soldiers.
- 1939-1945 (World War II): The logistics sector moved from warfare to business with product distribution, filling orders, storage, production planning, and customer service.
Digitization and Challenges in the Logistics
Since World War II, the industry has been booming and gaining momentum. With the rise of the e-commerce industry, logistics has anticipated growth of 25% and understanding the importance of digitization.
Consumers are empowering themselves with social media channels, market understanding, and brand awareness. It is changing their buying behavior to a large extent.
The retail industry, including the CPG industry, is adopting new-age technologies at a fast pace. Hence, the logistics industry facing sheer challenges to walk in tandem with these sister industries.
The supply chain is becoming increasingly complex. It is embracing diverse geographic locations, a federal tax system that differs from states to states, regulations, checking points, etc.
There are gaps between inventory and delivery. It has become a more labor-intensive industry at a high cost. Still, businesses are struggling to give real-time analytics like products out of stock, price changes, etc. to the consumers.
The key to all these problems is the lack of planning in adopting digitization. At Parkar, we help you to plan, implement, and support your logistics to adopt new-age technologies without hampering the operations.
