Corona pandemic promotes digitisation among transport service providers
Bordesholm, October 1, 2020
The unstoppable boom in online retail in recent years has caused extreme competition in the transportation industry. For both, e-commerce providers as well as transport service providers, every minute and every euro are equally important.
Entering: Corona crisis. It further increases the pressure that already exists. The pandemic's effects have a worldwide impact, including in Germany, as an accelerator on ongoing developments in the logistics industry, and in addition it also creates completely new challenges. For some companies, especially at the beginning of the crisis, this led to urgencies that could not be reacted to immediately in every case. But these are not unsolvable problems. The current situation also reveals the chance to enter the road to success with a future-oriented company by innovation, the use of state-of-the-art technologies and software.
An end to the pandemic is currently not in sight. There are some indications that Corona could have ushered in a new era with lasting economic and social changes, also with regard to logistics processes.
