Logistics and supply chain have improved globally over the past few years. There has been significant evolution in logistics, because many logistics companies have adopted technology in their structures, which has enhanced their ability to respond to modern logistics heeds and market demands. The fourth industrial evolution has brought changes with technological innovations that have created efficiency in the logistics sector globally (Sauvage, 2003). Technological development and innovation in the logistics sector by creating efficiency and ease of movement of goods and services have enhanced proper and smart logistics.
In this study, the general conclusion is that technology in logistics has enhanced efficiency by creating more transparency by logistics companies and customers. Manufacturing companies and producers can concentrate on producing product while subletting the role of logistics and transport to specialized logistics companies. The most common types of logistics companies are 3PL logistics companies that have increased in popularity and presence worldwide (Sauvage, 2003). Such companies utilized advanced technologies to enhance the visibility of their product, communication with their customers, and warehouse management. Examples of companies that have utilized this type of logistics include Amazon, Auto Store, Google, Uber, and Tesla.
This study has also concluded that technology has a crucial role in the logistics sectors future. Several technological developments have been used in logistics to date, which provides context to understand that it will continue to create efficiency and speed. Examples of technological developments that have been used in the logistics sector include robots, artificial intelligence, drones, cargo space sharing platforms, customer-to-customer transport platforms, navigation services, mobility as a service, and cloud logistics (Liao & Wang, 2018). These services are expected to expand in use and popularity with companies like Tesla investing in smart technology and smart trucks that ensure proper use of technology is merged with logistics to create efficient modern logistics.
