Biggest Challenges Faced by Logistics Companies

The Indian logistics sector has been on a path of steady and robust growth for the past few years, in pursuance of the rising retail and manufacturing ecosystem in the country. Thereof, the foremost challenges that the logistics sector faces today, due to poor infrastructure and technology, and lack of digitization.
Physical infrastructure hampers transportation which as a result impacts supply chain management. The higher cost of fuel exponentially hikes the freight charges which would indirectly impacts, the Indian logistics companies and businesses to stay afloat. The economic and socio-political changes would also result in fluctuation of the prices, and in turn, affects the costs and disrupts the supply chain. Although the logistics industry has drifted towards a more tech-friendly environment, the industry still faces challenges in safeguarding the documentation, which would be paramount in substantiating claims at the time of arbitrations and litigations. Lack of accurate data at the time of documentation along with several manual processes further aggravates this problem.
Trained manpower, which is very weak at a practical level, i.e., IT, driving schools, loading, and unloading is essential as a part of logistics training. The disorganized nature of the logistics sector in India, its poor integration system and its perception as a manpower-heavy industry, and its lack of adequate training institutions have led to a shortfall in skilled management and client service personnel. Poor facilities and management are the reason for high levels of loss, damage, and deterioration of stock, mainly in the perishables sector. It is essential to prioritize research and development so that the weaknesses in the industry can be taken care of and could eliminate the voids of supply chain management.
