Fuel and freight make up nearly two-thirds of logistics costs. Supply-chain and logistics managers need to optimize those costs to improve the bottom line.

The rise of smart factories promises to impact the future of manufacturing in emerging economies.

Digital network platforms and advanced analytics are making it possible for logistics providers to achieve unprecedented levels of visibility and collaboration, enabling true end-to-end supply chains.

In recent years, supply chain has become a hotbed of innovation and a darling of venture investors. A series of new technologies has matured and brought new life to this historically rather stodgy space.

Blockchain technology is progressing at a rapid clip, but when it comes to supply-chain applications, full deployment is far from being realized.

As we come to the end of 2019, the technologies behind mass-scale digitization aren’t slowing down at all.
