E-Commerce: Its Impact on Transportation, Logistics, and Supply Chain Management

Overview The transportation and logistics industries have only intermittently applied B2B e-commerce to their practices. Transportation carriers have had a great deal of trouble utilizing e-commerce solutions to fulfill customer supply chain expectations, primarily with tracking and tracing.

Logistics intermediaries arose to manage the functions of transportation carriers. Those intermediaries are now attempting to manage the information flow for customers.
