The industry has registered significant growth in the last decade, with big drivers being the emergence of Third Party Logistics (3PL) and Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) players--who will play a crucial role in the years to come. Today, the logistics industry is characterized by high cost of operations, low margins and infrastructural bottlenecks, alongside increasing demand from customers. These factors are reducing the margins involved in the operation and are fastening the process of consolidation through mergers, acquisitions, and alliances. Technology will have multiple roles to play in this scenario--for cost reduction, time savings, and rapid growth. For instance, many companies are turning to advanced robotic arm solutions to decrease warehouse labor, while others are looking at leveraging emerging technologies like 3D Printing, Internet of Things (IoT) and driverless vehicles. While the future of logistics industry looks bright, the selection of right technology and partners will be a key factor for companies to create competitive advantage in the market. On that note, we present you a special edition on logistics technology. In this edition we feature 20 most promising logistics solution providers, along with insights from CIOs in the logistics space who share their wisdom on leveraging technology to deal with the wide array of challenges in the market. Over the last few months, our editorial team evaluated several companies.
