A new study from Frost and Sullivan suggests transport operators, fleet companies, IT service providers and other members of the supply chain are all thriving as mobile integrators.
New business integration platforms that leverage mobile technologies are increasing access to information in real-time, helping all branches of a supply chain stay connected and work at high levels of productivity. As more companies rely on integration technology to consolidate supply chain management practices, the use of mobile solutions will continue to rise, breeding a new generation of resources for disparate supply chain branches.
Looking at emerging technologies in Europe and North America through 2025, trends of urbanization, connectivity and convergence, smartphone apps and other mobile solutions are manifesting and transforming business models. Mobility integrators are rising up as powerful players in business integration strategies, uniting expansion and sustainability efforts with the latest technological innovations. Companies worldwide are investing in mobile integrators to implement new technology to enhance supply chain success and business integration fluidity.
According to the study, mobility solutions will be flexible and seamlessly intertwined into supply chain operations, offering on-demand services to managers and customers. Increased transport efficiency combined with advanced communication tools will drive the need for mobile solutions, as companies improve logistics and decision-making capabilities throughout the chain.
