Norderstedt, June 25, 2017 – Sensor systems, block chains, artificial intelligence: digitalization is becoming a key factor in making companies fit for the future. To come out ahead in global competition, a logistics company has to be fast, sure, and reliable – including with regard to price competition. A seamless, transparent supply chain, optimized route utilization, and on-time carriage using multiple modes of transport are absolutely necessary if commercial enterprises, carriers, and haulers, as well as companies involved in transshipment and local public transport, are to meet the growing demands of their customers.
