This is an excerpt of the publication based on the conversations between CEO - Jagmeet Singh and Telematics Wire.

The epidemic has accelerated digitalization in Indian logistics. Information about oxygen, medicine, vaccination tracking, involving air, rail, and road established that digital maturity was not just a hype but a new disruption to embrace. Deploying a digital logistics ecosystem has become imperative to empower your enterprise transformation. The collaborative and user-centric approach brings a holistic perspective to analyse and understand the volatile demand of the supply chain.

The lack of digital maturity, coupled with the sudden demand for digital capabilities caused by pandemic needs, caught many Indian logistics leaders by surprise. The lack of sufficient knowledge and skills to adopt has led to the propagation of myths that have become the focal point of all current conversations. So, envisioning an augmented supply chain is necessary for breaking assumptions and bridging the gap in the logistics sector. Therefore, debunking and challenging those most pressing myths is a need of the hour.

For every logistics initiative where cost is at the center, the goal however should be to reduce such waste and focus on efficiency improvement. Cost as a value lever would get derived from such actions. The right approach should be to invest at the right places in logistics vision like automation, visibility into processes, data-driven decision making, skill development to align with modern technologies, and much more.

Digital is a next-gen technology with possibilities and potentials in Indian logistics yet to be realized. With its nimble nature, agility, and relevance, it would not be fair to challenge or slow down its adoption in the logistics sector.

We get challenged so such myths every day and as part of being responsible partners, we put in the time and effort to educate customers in first defining their digital logistics vision and then helping them to derive benefits.

"The rightful place of digital is where it provides an immersive experience, not intrusive."
