3 Ways Technology is Transforming Business Logistics

Market trends are driving massive growth in logistics, while technological advances are rewriting how companies handle transportation and supply chains. Leading businesses are shifting towards digital logistics platforms—not just for efficiency, but because technology has become a true game changer in customer experience and cost management.

Below are three key ways technology is transforming business logistics—and how you can leverage these innovations with TheLorry for Business.

1) End to End Information Management & Sharing

One of the biggest breakthroughs in logistics today is the ability to collect and share information across the supply chain. Data doesn’t just sit idle; it creates real-time insights for both businesses and customers.

For example:

• Digital twins (virtual copies of physical products) track information across a product’s lifecycle.

• Real-time tracking reduces delays by replacing manual processes with automated systems.

• Emission data can also be tracked to support sustainable supply chain strategies.

Take Walmart’s pilot project of tracking food products: digital platforms provided transparency about origin and safety conditions, giving customers confidence.

At TheLorry for Business, the same principle applies. Our platform ensures seamless data sharing, from dispatch to delivery—so your operations run with less manual work and more reliability.

2) Visibility to Improve Supply Chain Process

Visibility is no longer optional—it’s the heartbeat of modern logistics. With cloud-based control tower systems, businesses can monitor every handoff, from warehouse pick-up to final delivery.

Here’s how it works:

• Packages are scanned and tracked digitally at each step.

• Systems can predict delivery times and measure performance against actual results.

• Feedback loops allow companies to improve efficiency and customer service.

The elevator giant Kone already leverages IoT solutions to monitor performance and even anticipate maintenance needs. Logistics businesses can adopt the same model for proactive improvements.

For businesses, TheLorry offers a similar advantage. Our digital system ensures you always know where your goods are, when they’ll arrive, and whether your supply chain is running at peak performance.

A well established example of using backfeed information comes from the elevator industry, where Kone has successfully installed IoT-type solutions to make use of real-time information collected from their products to serve maintenance services as well as product development.

3) Scaling with Network Effects, Shared Capacity & Offering New Services

One of the most powerful outcomes of logistics platforms is the network effect—the more users, the more value for everyone.

• Small businesses can now connect with a wide pool of carriers and drivers.

• Shared platforms reduce costs while offering new services and revenue streams.

• Payments and deliveries can be streamlined and more reliable.

Take Uber Freight as an example: it addressed truckers’ cash flow problems by offering quick payments. That’s just one new service enabled by logistics platforms.

With TheLorry for Business, you benefit from the same scaling power. Our platform gives access to trained drivers, efficient payment systems, and nationwide coverage—so your logistics grow as your business grows.
