November 22, 2019

The vision and industry initiatives working toward what is known as the “physical Internet” started with the concept of transforming the transportation industry operating model into an open logistics system, where goods in the supply chain flow as freely and cost-effectively as data across the Internet. Regardless of whether the vision is realized completely or only partially, global supply chains will continue to evolve toward synchronizing all aspects of supply and demand, from shipments to capacity.
