Insight into the critical technological developments and solutions that will shape the future of the logistics industry.
This report describes how sectors of the industry are using information systems to manage their operations, as well as how these solutions are evolving.

Our primary goal is to try and identify the critical developments and solutions that will be transformational, or at least enable transformational capabilities for their users.
