Industry in transition
What are the current challenges in the transportation and logistics industry?
The industry is under intense pressure: energy prices, geopolitical uncertainties, regulatory requirements (e.g. CO₂ pricing, Supply Chain Act), a persistent shortage of drivers and rising customer expectations require a profound rethink. At the same time, digitalization, e-commerce, new mobility solutions and sustainability goals are fundamentally transforming the traditional transport and logistics business. The pressure on margins remains high – while the need for resilience, flexibility and transparency along the supply chain is increasing.
Strategies for the future
What is the current need for adjustment and optimization?
Companies in the transportation and logistics sector need to develop technology- and data-driven business models and at the same time make their operational structures much more efficient:
- Create digital end-to-end transparency:
Real-time tracking, IoT solutions, telematics, transport management systems (TMS) and AI-supported scheduling enable end-to-end control and optimization of the entire supply chain. - Decarbonization of transport:
Alternative drives (e-trucks, hydrogen), multimodal solutions, bundling strategies and CO₂ reporting and reduction are becoming decisive criteria for tenders and partnerships. - Network optimization and location strategy:
Logistics networks must be geared towards throughput, customer proximity, sustainability and resilience – including a reassessment of warehouse locations, distribution centers and modes of transport. - Using automation and robotics:
Warehouse and handling processes offer great potential for increasing efficiency – for example through driverless transport systems (AGVs), pick-by-vision, sorting robots and digitally supported picking. - Cost management and flexibilization of resources:
Fluctuating volumes and staff shortages require agile capacity management, optimized route planning, dynamic personnel management and lean administrative processes.
