    Introduction

    With the advent of e-commerce, the demand for faster delivery and the ability to manage larger number of shipments with minimal errors has made way for digitized supply chain. Digitization will enable tracking real time data for cargo movement while they are in transit and to be evaluated in real time. This will make it conceivable to find the correct position of the cargo and recognize rising specialized defects at the earliest while proactively enhancing the unwavering quality and security. We believe, block chain can play a pivotal role in achieving transparency at every stage of freight movement.

    Market Dynamics

    There’s a lot of noise, globally about truck capacity shortage. Matching trucks for available loads is getting more challenging than ever for shippers and brokers alike, which is where the new digital freight matching start-ups come into picture.

The new variables which hold the key in today`s supply chain is process digitization, opportunistic inventory allocation and shipping speed.
