Conclusion
So where is logistics today? What will be important in the future?
The Corona crisis and the resulting shift in buying behavior to the Internet are increasing the pressure on the traditional logistics industry and creating new hurdles, but at the same time they are opening up new business potential. However, this growing market is also marked by competition.
In the future, transparency, affordability, convenience and speed will be the decisive factors for success. Same-day delivery and delivery within certain hourly time windows will set the gold standard, because this also fulfills the last remaining wish of consumers - to receive the goods directly on the same day.
Strategies to emerge from these developments in a stable or even strengthened position include measures on several levels. On the one hand, cooperation with start-ups will be more important in the future, and on the other, comprehensive automation and digitisation.
In the future, transparency, affordability, convenience and speed will be the decisive factors for success.
For now, the human factor remains an integral and indispensable part of the complex events in most warehouses and on the street. However, modern equipment and digital technologies will lead the way to the position at the forefront of the transport market. The time saved through intuitive, fast shipment research in the DIVIS video management systems contributes to the acceleration of the processes in distribution centres and parcel depots. Further developments are also conceivable, in particular for the optimisation of the logistical environment before the delivery processes on the last mile, interaction with connected data systems, etc., which can already bring further advantages for fast delivery concepts based on step-by-step improvements.
