The digital transformation of logistics companies is strongly related to their capacity to use technology in four fundamental pillars: the automation of operations, connectivity with the logistics ecosystem, traceability and information-based decision-making.
In particular, when we talk about connectivity, logistics communities are clearly benefited when there are reliable and secure communication standards that allow agile information communication between the different actors in the logistics chain. The existence of technologies such as blockchain and Smart contracts allows, today, the development of these communication standards. It is in the hands of the logistics community to adopt them in a way that provides a competitive advantage to the community as a whole.
