“ So availability and access to logisticsroutes data is really an area where I see they can add a lot of value .”
Of course , for the outsourced logistics providers , having been forewarned also means being forearmed – with the technology that makes supply chain visibility possible . This is expertise that Naughton believes businesses would do well to tap into .
“ Logistics organisations are of course a key part of the value chain ,” he says now , “ and , as such , I think organisations need to work more carefully on collaboration .”
Naughton adds : “ Many logistics companies are an important resource because they are undergoing their own digital transformations , and businesses need to work with them to understand how their digital transformations can add value to their own organisation . Only through collaboration will we see such benefits coming through .
“ But not only do organisations need to collaborate with logistics companies , the logistics companies also need to collaborate with one another .”
