SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25, 2023 - HyperTrack, the leader in logistics APIs, today announced the findings of its inaugural State of Logistics Technology Survey Report, offering critical insight into logistics use cases and business priorities as organizations adapt to keep up with customer expectations in the growing on-demand economy.
In November 2022, HyperTrack hosted the Logistics + Tech Summit, an industry event bringing together over 1,700 logistics tech professionals from across the globe. As a follow up to the summit, HyperTrack polled logistics professionals from over 300 companies who are developing the next generation of technology for the on-demand economy to identify challenges and capabilities as they evolve to meet customer demand. Survey respondents ranged from hyper-growth startups to Fortune 500 companies across the gig work, field service, delivery, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology industries.
Report findings reveal that over half of organizations are working on logistics technology projects to improve productivity and visibility for operations teams, but do not have the custom logic and workflows to meet the requirements of the on-demand economy. Key findings include:
Additional findings point to a significant opportunity for delivery and gig work companies to incorporate order tracking links with live location of the delivery or gig worker, bringing tangible results to operations teams and reducing customer service interactions:
“Over the last several years, hyper-growth startups have addressed logistics challenges by throwing money at the problem and adding more servers and more people,” said Kashyap Deorah, founder and CEO of HyperTrack. “As the world goes on-demand and we enter an era of efficient growth, logistics technology automation has emerged as a top priority for modern organizations. This research reveals critical insight into the state of the industry including visibility, verification, customer satisfaction, and worker productivity, and identifies the clear gaps that need to be addressed.”
