From automated order management to digital packaging, and from drones to blockchain, 3PL services’ digital inclusion has brought significant benefits. These developments project that the global 3PL market will reach $2018.22 billion by 2030.
Backing this growth are automated order management and digital fulfillment, which are the most highlighted trends for its ability to smart batch orders based on different parameters like the customer, location, and shipping carriers. The real-time tracking from when the order is placed until it is out for shipping helps 3PL companies further assess the areas that can be improvised for better efficiency. The prime benefit of fulfillment digitalization is it enables the management of multiple warehouses and fulfillment centers at the same time, saving a lot of time, cost, and resources.
To put the spotlight on other key developments, Logistics and Transportation Review illustrates how 3PL companies are leveraging the latest technologies to augment the supply chain process. This edition also features a thought leadership article from Dave Bozeman, VP at Amazon Transportation Services; Marcin Krzyzanowski, Director of Supply Chain at Bimbo Canada; and Scott Lane, Senior Vice President and General Manager at CCLS. They shed light on the intersection of technology and transportation, the role of technology in Canada’s labor issue, and how agility and perseverance coupled with smart digital tools help unravel complex supply chains.
