Because change means progress 

The transport and logistics industry is undergoing change due to factors such as globalisation, neo-ecology and digitalisation. At the same time, geopolitical changes are forcing a rethink of supply chains. These factors not only influence existing business, but also require continuous review and improvement of business models and value chains. In particular, the introduction of the “Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains” highlights the growing pressure on companies to keep track of new guidelines and regulations and to comply with them.

Supply chain management in transition

Supply-chain-management in transition

In the transport and logistics industry, changing customer requirements, the emergence of new competitors and technological innovations require continuous realignment of supply chain man-agement. Exogenous factors such as rising energy prices, limited resources and raw materials, and political changes also have a significant impact on supply chains and, in some cases, lead to uncer-tainties in the long-term planning and management of transport. In addition, the demands for sus-tainable corporate management are constantly growing. End customers are increasingly demanding environmentally friendly products and transparent, sustainable supply chains, as well as compliance with ESG standards on the part of suppliers. Companies in the transport and logistics industry must therefore respond agilely to changing demand patterns and political and ecological developments and adapt their supply chains flexibly in order to remain competitive.

Supply chain 4.0: opportunities and risks of digitalisation

Digitalisation in the transport and logistics industry offers both significant opportunities and con-siderable challenges. By using modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, companies can optimise their processes, increase efficiency and im-prove transparency in the supply chain. Digital solutions enable real-time monitoring of deliveries, reduce operating costs and promote faster response to market changes. Nevertheless, companies face challenges such as integrating new technologies into existing systems, protecting sensitive data from cyber attacks and the need to train their employees in the use of new digital tools. In addition, digital transformation requires a rethink of corporate culture in order to promote agility and innovation. To fully exploit the potential of digitalisation, companies must therefore overcome both technological and organisational hurdles.
