Logistics & Transportation Industry

Each segment of the Logistics & Transportation industry – including air transport, motor freight, railroad and water transportation, pipelines, logistics (3PL/4PL) providers or couriers, and support services – is under pressure for meeting greater customer expectations, improving return on assets, minimizing operating costs, optimizing capacity and promoting operational excellence.

Companies in these segments have to be at the forefront of adopting new technologies that allow time-specific delivery and electronic tracking of cargo. For example, In-cab mobile computers and transponders, as well as satellites, are increasingly being used to monitor goods and vehicles efficiently. Additionally, the increased adoption of just-in-time inventory management by manufacturers is forcing the freight-transport industry to reshape and meet their demands.

In a rapidly changing environment, it is imperative to ensure that IT investments help rationalize costs and provide the intelligence to optimize inter-modal flows, both from a cargo and freight route perspective.
