CORONA CRISIS ACCELERATES STRUCTURAL CHANGE
Digital solutions support logistics companies in the competition
for e-commerce partnerships

CHAPTER 1
Challenges for today's logistics: package volumes and competition
Even before Corona, daily package volumes in the millions could no longer be handled fast enough and without errors in transshipment depots using conventional materials and personnel. This made the switch to digitisation and automation the next logical step. The digital transformation in logistics and intralogistics gives service providers more control and makes processes clearer and more transparent.
It improves communication and ensures more safety on the road, in distribution centers and parcel depots. It reduces errors, incorrect planning and losses and thus ensures cost savings and increased productivity.
The use of state-of-the-art technologies for seamless parcel tracking (including the DIVIS solutions), automated picking and conveying technologies, and computer-controlled, dynamic warehouse and transport planning are important prerequisites in the competition for transport orders.
The digital transformation in logistics and intralogistics gives service providers more control and makes processes clearer and more transparent.
Every carrier who wants to win in the race for transport orders from e-commerce providers in the booming online business must continually prove themselves to be the right choice.
Also waiting in the starting blocks are innovative startups and even one or the other e-commerce platform is pushing into the market. Some online retailers, the best-known example is Amazon, are now competing with traditional logistics service providers themselves by ending their dependence on external carriers and operating their own fleets.
