OEMs, suppliers, logistics and technology providers are developing and implementing software tools to improve cost, efficiency, network design, address capacity constraints, risk management and visibility – and leaders want to ensure they stay ahead of opportunities in data analytics, machine learning and AI.

But many face challenges in realising the potential of digitalisation in automotive logistics. Reasons include legacy systems, limited interoperability, poor data strategies, skills shortages or a lack of investment.   

To better understand the landscape and the digitalisation strategies that companies are implementing across inbound and outbound logistics, we have launched the Automotive Logistics Systems & Software Survey in June 2024 to leverage our global expert audience and gain insight into the challenges, opportunities and outlook for automotive logistics technology.

Across both inbound and outbound logistics, the survey explores the wide range of issues, revealing the pain points, capability gaps and future potential. It drills down into the following areas of automotive logistics systems and software:

  • Types
  • Challenges
  • Objectives
  • Features
  • TMS features
  • Implementation levels
  • Providers
  • Integration
  • AI usage
  • Upgrading and investment
  • Approach

The survey is part of an going focus and series on digitalisation and technology at Automotive Logistics, including our event in Nashville in June 2024, Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Digital Strategies North America, and in Munich December 2024, Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Digital Strategies Europe.
