Soon, the logistics industry is hoping to see the same happen in the trucking space too--giving clients more control of transportation and inventory! Much like the connected taxi drivers with passengers--for instance, Uber, this platform will bridge the gap between shippers and truckers, eliminating the need for a middleman. This can easily enable the customers to find the service suppliers, lowering the expenses and improving visibility across a company's entire supply chain. Trucking in last few decades has changed steadily, and the logistics industry would surely benefit from this platform. However, this blending of technology and service provision into a singularity is only a beginning. Future will see vetted and approved drivers finding cargos nearby, along with the shipping distance and payment info--tapping to accept the job and navigating to the pickup! Moreover, in coming years there will be exponential growth in the integration of intelligence within the logistics industry, enabling systems to connect better within the environment. Tech-savvy workers will be operating intelligent machinery while working side by side with autonomous forklifts and bots in operations that will be highly automated. However, with each activity leaving behind a digital footprint, logistics industry will be more reliable and efficient. The strategic and technological innovations in logistics will influence how organizations buy and sell in the future and companies should realize that they must harness the power of technology to collaborate with their business partners.
