  • Warehouse management systems (WMS): These systems are used to track inventory levels, manage orders, and optimize the flow of goods in and out of warehouses.
  • Transportation management systems (TMS): These systems are used to plan and track shipments, manage carriers, and optimize routes.
  • Fleet management systems (FMS): These systems are used to track and monitor vehicles, manage fuel consumption, and improve driver safety.
  • Geospatial technologies: These technologies are used to track the location of goods in real time and optimize delivery routes.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI): AI is being used in logistics to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and optimize operations.

LIT can help logistics organizations to improve their performance in a number of ways, including:
