Factors considered to help in Growth of Logistics Outsourcing Market

Global market trends driven by technological innovations like remote tracking and monitoring using RFID tags and EDI-based location of the shipment include globalised product availability, demand for product individualization in terms of logistics, on-time delivery of the goods, just-in-time inventory, agility in time response transport, big data analytics regarding inventory and deliveries, and atomization of shipment. Big data analytics are improving the accuracy of task frequency and decision-making abilities. Online merchants (like Amazon) are increasingly outsourcing solely end-product transportation services in order to be more cost-effective and operationally cohesive and to insource their inventory. The services offered by outsourced logistics firms are continually improved by these technology advancements.

Third party logistics providers and lack of technology will affect the overall performance of logistics companies

Many companies tie up with third party logistic providers, and these providers adopt customer branding for getting more employees and assets. There are chances that these providers will be responsible for your representation to customers. If there are any inconveniences or problems created by the third party service providers, it will reflect directly on the company. If the contracts and agreements are not clear and they are not properly translated to customers it can have adverse effects on the organisation.

Failing to be updated with new systems helping with data entry and management will create problems internally, and ultimately can affect the customer experiences with company. All the departments of company should be able to see the data and have access to edit it time to time, to ensure the data flow through systems. Failure to maintain such channels will lead to failed relations with consumers.
