The logistics industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, accounting for 12% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and experiencing a steady compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. Projections indicate that global logistics spending will exceed $15 trillion by 2023. This robust growth, coupled with the challenges brought about by the global pandemic, has amplified the demand for innovative technologies that can enhance efficiency and reduce supply chain costs.

At its core, a supply chain is a complex series of processes involved in the manufacturing and distribution of goods. Despite its apparent simplicity, the logistics industry incurs trillions in expenses, many of which could be mitigated through automation and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify issues proactively by analyzing vast datasets.

AI has emerged as a transformative force capable of streamlining supply chain operations by eliminating inefficiencies and providing insights to enable more informed planning and decision-making. The key question is how to effectively integrate AI into supply chain processes to realize its full potential.

Numerous supply chain processes rely on a multitude of documents to facilitate the flow of goods, funds, and information throughout the supply chain. These documents include contracts, invoices, bills of lading, packing slips, and customs declarations, among others. The potential for human error, missing documents, and other issues can result in substantial costs and suboptimal customer experiences. Digitizing these documents and electronically sharing data is a crucial step in reducing waste within the supply chain, and AI has proven to be effective in this digitization process, paving the way for paperless transactions.

When combined with Machine Learning (ML) and Blockchain, AI’s impact is even more pronounced. Robotics, for instance, is successfully automating repetitive tasks within supply chain operations, reducing labor costs and enhancing efficiency. Beyond robotic process automation, cognitive automation introduces new possibilities, like Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA harnesses AI technologies such as Optical Character Recognition, Text Analytics, and ML to enhance customer and workforce experiences. An illustrative example is the use of chatbots to handle basic customer inquiries, reducing call center costs and improving response times.

Supply chain technology firms offer innovative solutions that can significantly enhance supply chain sustainability. Technologies that quantify CO2 emissions and utilize data as a critical factor in carrier selection can have an immediate positive impact. AI can also strengthen end-to-end logistics execution by integrating essential activities like planning, booking, settlement, and shipment tracking across a vast network of trading partners. Key areas, including predictive analytics, end-to-end visibility, and last-mile delivery, can all benefit from AI implementation.

As AI continues to be deployed to enhance efficiency and reduce waste in supply chains, companies must strike a balance between these improvements and their potential effects on customer experience and satisfaction. Ensuring that AI’s impact on the human aspect is carefully considered is essential and cannot be overlooked.
