Transportation and Logistics Unprecedented challenges in the transportation and logistics industry demand radical reinvention. We empower clients across all sectors to undertake bold moves in embracing digital innovation, restructuring, and serving customers. Defending against such industrywide transformation can seem impossible. By contrast, embracing transformation—and outpacing it with a companywide transformation of your own—opens up possibilities. Transportation and logistics companies face existential threats from across the competitive landscape. Digital newcomers are redefining how to manage transportation operations and service customers. Longtime collaborators are expanding into adjacent spaces up and down the value chain. Even some customers, such as e-tailers, are morphing into competitors.
