Changes in the logistics sector have happened due to the emergence of technological innovations, which increasingly promote quality and optimize processes. For this reason, it is not possible to talk about trends without talking about technology.
Although it is difficult to say with certainty how the sector will be in the coming years, we can predict some trends. Check out!
Automation
Without a doubt, the automation of processes is a trend. The automation of processes and tasks provides increased efficiency (speed, precision, cost reduction, space optimization) of companies, in addition to helping to reduce costs by reducing the rate of accidents at work.
Real-time monitoring, for example, reduces costs and increases the agility and safety of vehicles and loads. We talk about its importance in this text.
Internet of Things
Another strong trend is the internet of things (IoT), which consists of the integration of the most varied electronic objects through internet connection.
This technological evolution has been growing as a trend in the logistics sector and has earned the nickname of "Intelligent Logistics", for allowing the monitoring of industrial processes in real time, in addition to facilitating the control of logistical steps, simplifying the identification of the status of goods during transport. .
The use of sensors to track the route of products, for example, is a simple way to make use of the “Internet of Things” in logistics.
In addition to having a long lifespan, these devices are capable of transmitting information that can be viewed on a map, allowing the status of shipments to be constantly monitored.
Sustainability
The impact of the role of conventional logistics in the contamination of the planet led to the implementation of a new trend in the sector, known as Green Logistics or eco logistics.
The objective is to redesign logistics processes to reduce the industry's impact on the environment, concentrating all areas of logistics, from storage to distribution and transport. In addition to improving the biosphere, an ecologically responsible distribution chain is synonymous with modernity.
Fadel has already had experience with electric vehicles, which we report here.
collaborative economy
Partnerships and collaborations between companies have been gaining strength in the logistics sector (we talk a little about that here).
Collaboration can streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve the customer experience.
Humanized and quality service
The quality of processes directly influences customer satisfaction and loyalty. You have to be available to listen to your customer.
Customer service is an important sales tool for customer satisfaction.
Offering customer support and redoubling care to avoid cases of lost products or broken items are priorities for cargo transportation.
advance delivery
In this innovative way of delivering, the product is already out of stock before the customer makes the purchase. For this to be possible, it is necessary for the company to keep track of the history of purchases and searches previously carried out by the customer, in order to be able to offer the best solution for what he is looking for.
This strategy builds customer loyalty and attracts new consumers to your business.
autonomous vehicles
A trend that promises to strengthen in the coming years is the implementation of autonomous vehicles, which are capable of operating without a driver, particularly in quick deliveries.
It's a controversial trend, but one that can improve productivity.
