Since 2019, supply chains and logistics seem to have endured one black swan event after another that disrupted operations and impacted freight costs. One theme explored at our recent FreighTech conference was that these disruptions may be less black swans and more the new normal

And instead of lamenting them after the fact, logistics professionals would do better to learn lessons and develop strategies to be prepared for them – including leveraging the digital tools that can improve visibility, detection and reactions to the next inevitable disruptions. 

What follows are some recent developments in logistics technology aimed at visibility and detection of disruptions, as well as progress in the areas of logistics fintech, brokering solutions, autonomous vehicles, warehouse automation, new examples of AI applications to freight, and more.
