Leveraging Cargo transport in a Tech Economy

Logistics allows movement of physical products throughout the economy. Logistics and transport services in a growing economy like India are left behind in improving due to the inefficiencies in leveraging the use of technology.

With the increase in the platform economy, making use of technology is vital to improving the logistics and supply chain of companies and the economy.

Some of the inefficiencies faced by the logistics industry are :

1. Empty truck on the road

One of the biggest inefficiency in the logistics industry is that truck deliver on load or freight and then have to drive someplace else to pick up the load or have to return back to its place of origin. This means that 15-20 percent of the time the trucks on the road are empty, this creates inefficiencies in the entire logistics ecosystem. Also, this cause increases in the carbon footprint as going back and forth just causes an increase in the use of fuel.

The truck drivers do not receive much compensation for driving empty trucks. Which creates low morale among them.

2. Paper transactions

Most of the tuck and companies use and rely on paper records than on technology. The technological gap in the transport industry has left the transport industry behind in growth.
