When was the last time you actually spared a minute to wonder how did your item ordered online came all the way from Haryana or Chandigarh (since most of the e-retail warehouses are located there) in the speculated time suggested by your shopping app? It's pure brilliance. Though quietly, the logistics industry has been, since time immemorial, evolved from man-powered to app-powered. And why not? For a very primitive reason, it should continue. Logistics is the mainstay of any economy and a vital driver of economic progress as it encompasses the management of flow of goods from the place of initiation to the place of consumption. eCommerce alone has revolutionized shopping, but due to the complexity of picking eCommerce orders, retailers need to employ armies of workers to get orders out the door. In the U.S., Amazon alone hired 120,000 temporary workers over the holidays in 2016. The manual picking of orders is simply an expensive bottleneck where no value is added and thus an obvious target for automation. The global market for GPS trackers is witnessing a tremendous growth due to emergence of new applications that use the GPS trackers system. Transportation and Logistics segment is projected to be the most attractive in the global GPS Tracker market during the forecast period. From the moment a consignment leaves the factory unit till it reaches the end customer- consignor to forwarder to consignee- every movement is tracked. Now, if you wonder how you are able to track your order in your app, well you have the answer. In this edition of CIOReview, we too have brought you a company, AxesTrack that deals extensively with GPS based vehicle tracking solutions for the Fleet and Logistics industry as a whole. Besides AxesTrack, we have shortlisted the top 10 most promising logistics technology consultants 2017. I'm not sure if they can increase your likes, but they are sure to keep you posted and running.
