Logistics industry growth using emerging digital technologies

Abstract

Technological trends behind logistics operations have progressed substantially in the past few years, from traditional logistics to mass use of e-logistics. This transformation is essential to the competitiveness of the logistics business. Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Everything has a powerful impact on the logistics itself, although it may not be entirely noticeable for the end-user. Supply chain management moves and grows just as 3rd-party logistics and 4th-party logistics extend to 5th-party logistics. E-Logistics develops different disciplines where cloud-based processes, m-logistics, mobile supply chain management, and augmented reality are significant areas in the future of logistics. The objective of this study is to identify the usage of digital technologies in logistics industry growth.
