Where does the future of logistics go?

editor2 • Jun 10, 2021

The future of logistics will be affected by many current factors that will not disappear in posterity. Implementing the new technologies will be an improvement in the medium and long term.

So, many logistics companies and organizations are developing methods and systems to evolve. One such important organization is Looper , which offers great service based on speed, reliability, and expertise.

What Goals Drive the Future of Logistics?

E-commerce is among the main factors that will influence the future of logistics . E-commerce has become increasingly popular in large companies and has been fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to this pandemic, and the frequent use of smartphones, buyers require speedy package delivery . To fill this demand, logistics companies must make such deliveries.

The company is rewarded for its competitiveness, as customer satisfaction earns its trust and other possible purchases. This means that the future of logistics is a decisive factor for customer retention.

Nevertheless, logistics in many companies requires many resources and organization. This allows companies such as Looper to dedicate themselves to providing package distribution and transfer services to other companies. There are other factors that drive the development of logistics.

Immediate delivery

The immediacy of delivery is undoubtedly a decisive factor in satisfying and retaining customers. This immediacy is achieved through efficient moving and shipping systems.

The future of logistics is expected to lead to an increase in the speed of package delivery. There are companies expecting, by the middle of the present decade, to be able to deliver all their packages the same day. Some hope to be able to deliver them in a couple of hours by the end of the decade.

The transportation of packages can be carried out in three ways that are exemplified in the following table:

Land Maritime Air
Trains Freighters Cargo planes
Trucks Merchant ships Helicopters
Delivery Speedboats Drons

Artificial intelligence and big data as support

Large companies cover a large audience to which they offer online services to facilitate purchases. Because of this, parcel goods are destined for cities, states, and (sometimes) nations other than where they were produced.

The future of logistics also entails the implementation of advanced technologies for industrial process automation. These processes include:

  • Locating of the customer and identify the package
  • Tracing the fastest and most efficient route for delivery
  • Organizing the positions and loads of the means of transport with the most urgent packages
  • Recording and organizing all packages and product requests based on company inventory
  • Saving record of purchases made and packages returned
  • Taking note of the most frequent tastes of customers in terms of purchases

Green logistics

The balance with the environment will be a very important change in the future of logistics . This balance will be achieved through changes in the package transfer process and the media used.

For this reason, the ecological improvement of the vehicles and packaging that the industry will offer will be used. Likewise, green logistics also seeks to deliver packages efficiently with a lower cost for the company.

Not many companies strike a balance between efficiency and green. However, organizations like Looper have this balance that will be critical in the future of logistics .

Value of logistics and possible changes in the future

Due to the pandemic and modernization, the form and means used to distribute and deliver packages are evolving. These changes will be of great advantage to buyers, who are the main audience to please.

Consequently, many companies have to adapt to new and complex ways of distributing and delivering packages. It is not an easy task, so at Looper and we assure our clients and associates an excellent logistics service adapted to modern needs.

El mundo en este momento vive la emoción y alegría por recibir el Nuevo Año Chino, uno de los festivales más importantes del año de esta cultura oriental. Conocido originalmente como el Año Nuevo Lunar o el Festival de Primavera, se celebra al comienzo de la segunda luna después del solsticio de invierno de ahí donde proviene su nombre. Conocido particularmente como el Año del Dragón, debido a que los animales en el calendario chino son el perro, el cerdo, la rata, el buey, el tigre, el conejo, el dragón, la serpiente, el caballo, la oveja, el mono y el gallo. Sabemos que en el mundo occidental, muchas cuestiones y preguntas emergen cada inicio de año, relacionadas a los símbolos de esta tradición, es por eso que te compartimos algunos datos a saber sobre esta fiesta. Este 2024, marca el cambio del año del conejo de agua al año del dragón de madera, símbolo que rigió por última vez en 1964. Antes ocurrió en 1904 y así sucesivamente cada 60 años. El dragón es el quinto animal del zodíaco y en la cultura china representa buena suerte, fuerza, salud y el elemento masculino yang. Dentro de este periodo, se produce la mayor migración de personas en todo el mundo, ya que millones de personas viajan en las vísperas del Año Nuevo para pasar tiempo con la familia o los amigos. Desde el lado de los negocios el Año Nuevo Chino es una tradición que tiene un impacto en la economía local e internacional. Compradores y empresas deben llevar una planificación organizada y anticipada para hacerle frente al inicio del Año, ya que en los últimos años se ha visto una tendencia en que las operaciones acortan tiempos laborales. Esto provoca falta de disponibilidad de contenedores, retrasos en el transporte y aumento en los costos de envio gracias a esta temporada tan alta y de gran importancia para los países asiáticos. Además, las redes de transporte por carretera, ferroviario y aéreo también pasan a través de importantes retrasos debido al aumento del tráfico y la escasez de mano de obra. Sabemos que el tiempo es un recurso muy valioso y es clave para las relaciones entre proveedores y compradores. En tu caso, ¿qué medidas tomas ante los eventos y festividades como lo es el Año Nuevo Chino? Compártenos tus comentarios.
