First, Global Logitics Digitization

With reduced transportation demand and excess logistics capacity, Logistics Service Providers (3PL-4PLs) and carriers will be under enormous pressure to find ways to be more competitive, reduce costs, and improve customer service. row.
By 2023, digitization will be the most important strategy for LSPs and carriers to address all of these factors simultaneously.
