Logistics & Distribution management is increasingly becoming more important for various industries since it may lead to reduced operational costs, improved delivery performance and increased customer satisfaction levels. In an increasingly globalized market, LSPs (Logistics Service Provider), also known as third-party logistics providers (3PL) are called upon more than ever before to help customers deliver goods around the region.
The global Logistics industry is witness various challenges including :
- High operational cost
- Low margins
- Shortage of talent
- Infrastructural bottlenecks
