Why new technology could make life easier – and harder – for Logistics companies

Posted 06/11/2017

At a time when our ‘always-on’ economy means that consumers expect responsiveness 24 hours per day, logistics companies are under pressure like never before.

Yet even as organisations adopt these solutions, the opportunities they offer are opening up another set of challenges – namely, how to ensure the workforce has the skills needed to make these new technologies work. In an industry already facing skills shortages, these innovations could (paradoxically) be about to make life a lot harder for employers.
