How the IoT is Changing the Future of the Supply Chain

March 21, 2018

Today, we have a guest blog from the good folks at ALBA who came up with this awesome infographic about the future of supply chain and IoTs role in it. A report from Gartner predicts that by 2020, more than 50% of major business processes will incorporate some form of the Internet of Things (IoT). One such business process is the supply chain. Though often overlooked, the application of IoT in supply chain management is already making exceptional changes and developments in international trade landscape. From sensors that can provide detailed visibility of items in transit, to cloud platforms that can be deployed to optimize fleet management and load dispatching, several IoT technologies are already being leveraged by many logistics operators not only to ensure efficient operations but to gain an edge on their competitors and build their brand.
