DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN LOGISTICS
Professional expertise, innovative thinking and ambitious working approaches are essential for employees in the logistics industry. The focus is on global networking and increasing digitisation within trade and shipping. It is a complex, challenging and exciting world, characterised by ever-progressing and highly dynamic developments, with a significant focus on technology. The internet of things, big data, robotics, delivery service tracking in real time and self-learning IT systems, as well as horizontal supply chain links are becoming part of the logistics world.
EMPLOYEES NEED NEW WAYS OF THINKING
Qualifications and requirements placed on applicants are becoming more extensive and more specialised. In the logistics industry, there is a growing need for suitable employees and managers who can approach changes within the industry constructively and react with agility, dynamism, and holistic thinking. Employee requirements include taking the initiative to engage in lifelong learning, working on different project teams, and focusing on finding useful IT solutions. Often, key positions remain unfilled for long periods of time due to a lack of talented internal employees, resulting in significant time delays and losses. Because of this, using the services of the QRC Group to fill positions quickly and with the right employees is the right choice.
E-COMMERCE, A GROWTH SEGMENT
The consistent growth of e-commerce is resulting in major growth in logistics as well, while creating a number of challenges. To meet these challenges, ocean and air cargo companies, parcel services and specialised transportation firms need motivated, well-trained employees, often with highly specialised requirements. This is certainly the case for technical experts like IT, process and operations managers, and is the case more and more often for sales professionals and business development managers as well. They have to be able to move between different markets, while keeping the customer journey in mind. Increasing demands are being placed on managers to manage complexity, use IT and technology in the right balance, and motivate employees to take part in change processes.
Classic transportation companies like freight forwarders, ocean and air cargo companies, express, courier and parcel services, railway logistics providers and speciality transport companies need well-trained specialists and experts, as do companies offering comprehensive contract logistics solutions. Staffing needs in areas like sales, business development, controlling, IT, project and process management or operational functions with management expertise are particularly great. Lean management has taken hold in logistics, and it requires experts who can optimise processes to meet customer needs and provide training for internal colleagues or during continuous improvement processes.
“Industry 4.0 = Logistics 4.0” Changes in production, optimising processes, improving delivery capabilities, changing purchasing behaviour and other market demands are forcing many companies to adjust or redesign their logistics processes, especially in terms of cost and quality. This requires employees and managers with a high level of logistics expertise, and specialised experience and knowledge – for instance in the areas of production, processes, IT, distribution, or warehouse management.
