LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION
As consumers increasingly demand more customized and ethical services, logistics operators are under greater pressure than ever to transform their businesses in response.
In recent years, we have seen that efficiency requirements and complex consumer demands have put growing pressure on supply chains across industries.
Logistics operators not only face challenges in terms of their own businesses but also in terms of the critical role that they play for their partners. The importance of being operationally resilient and efficient is an emerging trend. This requires boosting risk management capabilities in the design and management of operations so that risks related to business continuity can be mitigated without needing to rely on costly idleness.
Sustainability, from both an environmental and social perspective, is an ever- growing supply chain pressure, especially given the impacts of logistics and transportation on the environment.
Cutting-edge technology is vital for automating these new requirements throughout the supply chain. Such technologies include autonomous vehicles, alternative fuels, the blockchain, and Artitificial Intelligence, among others. Disruptive technologies are a constant threat, leading to tighter margins and intense price competition, as clients seek to optimize their value chains.
However, the market is highly fragmented, which presents growth opportunities through M&A and JV processes, especially considering the importance of economies of scale, and the end-user experience becomes ever more important, leading to customers demanding ever more specific customizations such as ultra-express deliveries, channel integration, real-time order tracking etc.
