As a result, digital disruptions supported by analytics, cloud computing, and mobility, further bolstering technologies such as AI and robotics in driving the logistics industry towards the digital era of innovation. These trends enable organizations to reduce their operating overheads in the transportation of the goods whilst increasing efficiency of distribution.For a broader perspective, companies are now relying on the Internet of Things (IoT) to bring in additional value into their logistics processes. Using IoT, firms can gather data from a myriad of connected devices in the supply chain network and then analyze it using machine learning algorithms, thereby reaping multiple rewards such as preventive maintenance, corrective measures for the repair of faulty products, and improved efficiency of delivery trucks. Similarly, blockchain technology offers an unprecedented level of operational transparency and traceability of the goods and shipping vehicle to logistics companies. With the help of blockchain, individual customer identities cannot be tampered with at the time of the good's delivery. Feature sets such as a unique blockchain registration ID for every delivery vehicle against the delivery job ID further enables effective deliveries and returns of bought products. Furthermore, customer's ever-increasing demand is also compelling companies to come up with out-of-the-box solutions to fulfil consumer's expectations. For the same, firms are leveraging elastic logistics abilities and collaborating with local distributors to share fleets, inventory, and warehouses, along with delivery networks to handle multiple distribution channels in parallel while penetrating new markets.With the current edition of CIOReview, the editorial board aspires to showcase the proficiencies of prominent logistics vendors of the current day and age, in order to assist industry peers in leveraging state-of-the-art solutions and services.
