2017 Commercial transportation trends

If you lead a commercial transportation company, you’re heading toward one of two starkly different futures. You either continue to travel down the path you’ve been on and provide shippers with cheap and reliable service using established product and performance definitions and metrics. Or you embrace innovation and your business bears only passing resemblance to what it was before. 

By adopting aspects of advanced vehicle-related IT systems, automated fleet management, cloud-based data analytics, robotics, location detection, and autonomous vehicle technologies, you have gained the flexibility and capabilities to shift gears and focus on the most profitable services based on your customers’ ever-changing needs.

It was possible before now to avoid making a choice, but no longer. 2016 was a breakout year for new technologies in the commercial transport industry, even while many companies still resisted them. Although information systems have been disrupting carrier operations and logistics for years only now are these technologies being implemented by a raft of new competitors with fresh business models.
