September - 20216 logisticstechoutlook.comLinda James Managing Editoreditor@logisticstechoutlook.comWith a highly turbulent start to the new decade, most countries had to shut down their borders and limit transportation and travel to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The global pandemic created restrictions in trade operations that disrupted the logistics and transportation industries and were hampered across air, freight, and sea segments. Due to the nature of logistics companies offering complex multilocational solutions across the globe, they need to rapidly come up with radical changes to meet consumer behaviour demands. Many companies are in the process of implementing a range of new services to pivot and adapt their offerings to meet the needs of their customers, including; safety protocols and alternative modes of transport. During the pandemic, online sales skyrocketed due to changing consumer behaviour, which is likely to be the favoured way of shopping as we move into "the new normal". The pandemic has simultaneously raised shipping demand for online goods and limited supply chains' assets from warehouse operatives to HGV drivers. Additionally, much pressure comes from customers in the form of individuals and enterprises, who demand personalized service offerings and expect their products to reach on time. A key observation from the COVID-19 pandemic is how underprepared businesses were in dealing with such a crisis. For the future, organizations must implement various digital strategies to ensure that they maximally prepare for forthcoming threats. On that note, we present the insights of the APAC's most promising Logistics Tech Startups - 2021 in the solutions providers space to help organizations explore and unlock perspectives that translate to desired business and operational outcomes.
