## 1 Introduction  
Industry 4.0 is a concept that is becoming more and more familiar these days and concerns further activities and sectors. Industry 4.0 is no longer a future fad, but something that is emerging at a dizzying pace, radically changing the way we deal with established processes and bringing the concept of \"innovation\" to the fore. The aspects of Industry 4.0 not only refer to manufacturers and factories but also even more so to the customers themselves, as the whole approach is based on the ever-increasing and changing demands of customers.  
In short, the term \"Industry 4.0\" was originally adopted by a German strategic program, in an attempt to capture the relationship between many different elements of the manufacturing sector and the innovative technologies that now compose the new industrial [1].  
Of course, for the concept of \"Industry 4.0\" to have an impact on the processes and overall functioning of a company, it should first include technological, procedural, organizational, and digital transformation [2]. Creating an innovative business model is a big challenge for every business and organization. This is mainly due to the ever-changing environment, intense competition, globalization, crisis situations, etc. [3; 4; 5].  
The modern customer is now more informed and demands more immediate and efficient results from the market, and it is imperative for every organization to develop a new business structure that includes the methodical use of available information and the automation of processes [6; 7].  
A business model is influenced by several factors that ultimately determine its success. The two main factors that influence a business model are employee skills and organizational culture. Industry 4.0 is a collective concept that describes the technique of innovation and the organization of the value chain, thus offering a revolution in the manufacturing industry [8; 9]. Although it is directly linked to mechanical equipment and modern technologies, it also includes its humanitarian side and the role that people play. Employees should be fit and able to continuously develop the ability to learn [10; 11].  
The terms Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 are becoming more and more congruent as a result of the technological revolution. One of the industries affected by Industry 4.0 is most likely the supply chain. Fulfilling customer demands in an effective and efficient manner is the main goal of supply chain and logistics. Increasing speed, productivity, flexibility, and transparency, lowering prices, and eliminating waste are basic goals of logistics [12; 13].  
The main objective of this paper is to outline and examine the fundamental steps and conditions that evolve into a cutting-edge Logistics 4.0 business model. Then the question raised to facilitate this work is: How can a company in the logistics industry successfully assimilate the Industry 4.0 architecture and ultimately gain a competitive advantage?  
The work is divided into five sections. Section 2 refers to a brief literature review of the critical steps and conditions that determine the effectiveness of a business model, with extensive references to innovative business models, digital transformation, Quality 4.0, human resources, and Logistics 4.0. This was followed by Section 3 on the research methodology for the preparation and the final result of the study. Section 4 presents the results of the bibliographic research. In Section 5, a discussion of the results is presented, while Section 6 concerns the final outcome of the conclusions.
