With the burgeoning requirement for freight safety and time-controlled deliveries, surge in global and domestic trade, and increasing adoption of smart technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytical solutions, and internet of things (IoT), the demand for digital freight forwarding is rising sharply across the world. Big data analytics and other enterprise management suites (ERP) are used for handling many complex tasks and operations, thereby recuing the dependency on human work, which often leads to operation delays, miscalculations, and inefficiencies.
