Transport data already exists in most organisations. The challenge is that it is rarely brought together in one place. Information is often scattered across carriers, TMS systems, ERP platforms, spreadsheets and email threads – meaning that logistics is still managed reactively in many organisations.
- "Many companies have a lot of data, but limited ability to manage and act on it," says Alexander Berg, Business Development Manager at Logivity.
Logivity originated within the Volvo Group but today operates as an independent company. Its offering consists of a digital platform that consolidates transport data and creates a shared overview of flows, costs, service levels and emissions.
According to Alexander Berg, the major challenge is no longer a lack of information – but rather that no one owns the complete picture.
- "Transport logistics involves many actors, systems and decisions that need to work together in real time. When information is fragmented, it becomes difficult to prioritise and act in time."
At the same time, organisations face increasing demands for cost control, delivery precision and sustainability performance. For many companies, transport logistics has therefore become a significantly more strategic topic than it was previously.
Historically, logistics was often treated as an operational function. Today, it increasingly influences business performance, customer experience and sustainability outcomes in parallel. As more data becomes available, the need for visibility and control continues to grow.
By consolidating and structuring transport data, organisations can move from a reactive to a proactive way of working. Existing data can be put to better use, and businesses gain stronger capabilities to monitor costs and emissions simultaneously. According to Alexander, this does not require complex initiatives.
- "It is not about creating new systems. It is about connecting what already exists and making logistics easier to manage."
The organisations that have made the greatest progress no longer work with transport and sustainability as separate disciplines. Instead, they have created a shared view where costs, delivery performance and emissions can be monitored side by side. This creates opportunities for greater efficiency and provides a stronger foundation for business decisions.
For Logivity, the connection between efficiency and sustainability is central. When transport flows perform better, both costs and climate impact are often reduced at the same time.
- "Sustainability rarely comes from a single initiative. More often, it is the result of better decisions and stronger collaboration across the transport ecosystem," Alexander concludes.
