Supply chain visibility and tracking technology investment requirements

0

Definition

Approximately 80% of logistics executives investing in IoT-enabled tracking and inventory management to enhance real-time visibility. This represents significant capital investment and operational complexity. Companies without modern tracking systems lose competitive advantage, cannot meet customer visibility demands, and lack real-time decision-making capabilities for disruptions. Investment includes hardware (sensors, GPS), software platforms, integration with legacy systems, and staff training. Technology maintenance and upgrades create ongoing costs. SMBs particularly disadvantaged competing with large 3PLs' technology capabilities. Failure to invest results in customer dissatisfaction and lost competitive positioning.
