Where do you see the current biggest challenges and trends in your industry❓

The construction, logistics and construction supply industries are facing major challenges. It is important to react faster and more flexibly to upcoming trends.

Technological and organizational #changes as well as the topic of #sustainability are the #drivers that are increasingly forcing companies in construction and logistics to think about the complex topic of digital #transformation.

This includes topics such as #IoT #AI and the sensible use of #bigdata and #cloudapplications, which can be used across digital platforms.

From our point of view, however, it is more about thinking NEW!

➡️ In my opinion, what are the logistics trends and important topics of the future in the industry?

🟢 #IoT ➡️ physical and virtual objects are networked with each other
🟢 #AI ➡️ Applications provide human-like intelligence
🟢 #bigdata ➡️ Amounts of data are used and can be analyzed to gain insights and make better decisions
🟢 #Skills shortage ➡️ Almost 40,000 truck drivers are missing every year in Germany alone
🟢 #Empty trips ➡️ 20% of trucks in Europe drive empty

⚠️ Tackling all these #topics yourself is almost impossible! Partners and cooperation with specialists are needed who can put themselves in your shoes in order to master the challenges together and enable them to ensure economic success in the future.

❗️ Because the fact is, change happens in the here and now! And if you don't deal with it or recognize the trends but ignore the new technologies, you lose touch and endanger your own company.
