“In the next five years, you’ll see an accelerated process in those new tech-driven and enabled businesses,” he continues.
The logistics industry, which is traditionally a non-transparent and highly labour-intensive industry, will move to become a total tech-driven business, predicts Onno Boots, president and CEO of Asia-Pacific (Apac) at Geodis, one of the key global players in the transportation and logistics sector.
"Technology is going to be the key driver of this industry going forward… in terms of artificial intelligence, robotics, [especially when] resources are scarce in Apac, Europe and the US,” says Boots in an interview with The Edge Singapore. “We’re going to have to find more efficient ways [of mitigating] the labour shortage [situation].”
