Introduction Information technology has transformed the way operations are carried out in the logistics industry. A well-designed information system is an important component in management, operation, and the running of a profit-making or non-profit making entity. Benefits that are associated with the application strategic management in developing information technology systems play a big role in the development of logistics-related functions in a business entity or any other organization as a whole. A basic requirement for success in the management of logistics is the systematic collection of the relevant business data. Running an operation successfully in the current world is only possible upon the deployment of a properly functioning information system. Such a system boosts an organization’s competitive merits. These merits are seen in the creation of new competitive positions, reduction of costs, attainment of certain specific operations differentiation, and the bettering of outcomes of the logistics functions in the organization. The fundamental goal of an IT system within the management of logistics is to connect competitors, consumers, and suppliers. The key aim is to attain efficiency in logistics. This paper seeks to explore the impact that information technology has on the logistics industry. Impact of Information Technology on Logistics Industry Efficiency and Quality Management Information technology has enabled firms in the logistics industry to enhance the efficiency of their operations. One of the ways in which it has brought about efficiency is through the allowing of close monitoring of resources such as raw materials from the time they are obtained to the time consumers utilize them. With IT, logistics companies are able to leverage their systems to have a good visibility of the movement of their cargo and other items on an end-to end basis. This plan has helped to avert huge losses that are associated with the loss of cargo due to theft and fear that people who intend to steal have a tracking plan that the involved companies are able to carry out, thanks to information technology (Choy et al., 2014). It has also helped to ensure more disciplined personnel that are motivated to work harder due to the ease of tracking that the implementation of IT has brought with it to their companies. Another significant impact of information technology is that it has improved quality management when it comes to the supply chain. Logistics heavily relies on an efficient and effective supply chain to achieve greater success in logistical operations. Logistics managers are tasked with the purchase of commodities and/or ensuring their safe transportation to the intended destination through the correct and recommended means. Information technology has made this job easy for them. They use advanced information systems to manage the movement of materials and goods from their initial production by the plants to their point of sale (retail stores). Due to the increased complexity and amount of goods that companies and other business entities have to handle in the current business world, information technology is continuously being used as the major means of finding desirable ways managing such a load (Lawrence, Konstantinos & Efthimos, 2013). Firms are able to find to develo
